Moving IRIS db in runtime?

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 failover"
note: Mirror or Shadow is not an option.

    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().
