I'm almost running out of disk space so I want to move 1 DB to a different hard drive.
It's a rather simple but lengthy action during a shutdown of IRIS.
But is this somehow possible under runtime in a stand-alone installation?
I'm looking for kind of a "local drive failover"

note: Mirror or Shadow is not an option.

Product version: IRIS 2020.1

If something does not suit in the bundle Backup.General:ExternalFreeze()/ExternalThaw(), then can try the bundle SYS.Database:DismountDatabase()/MountDatabase().
Or at all SYS.Database:Copy().

There is some 'silent' period during the night.
Actually, a snapshot (~380 GB) is taken during a Freeze-Thaw window, Which is not really RO.
