Backup and Restore Quotas - FSRM

Question

We are copying all our shares to a different drive on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Once this is done, we will be making the drive the same letter of the previous drive. During this process, the old drive letter will be unavailable and this will cause all shares to disconnect and remove all quotas we currently have in place is FSRM.

I have found out how to import all the shares.

Is there a was i can do a backup and restore of fsrm quotas and file screens? (note...this not for the templates)
I was using powershell Get-FSRMQuota, which allows me to view the quotas but not to export them, and if i am able to export them, then how do i import afterwars

Hi,

For now , I haven't find the official recommendation from Microsoft to transfer a created quota to another new volume directly. The suggested method is to back up only your quota templates, file screen templates, you can export them to XML files in a disk location that you choose by using the command-line tools dirquota.exe and filescrn.exe. Maybe some scripts could achieve this.

But I have seen customer do the same configuration as you. It seems work. I suggest you could check the thread discussed before.

Please note: backup all you data first and do the test before you need to do this in your environment.
