I assume doing a copy paste to the new folder location using windows explorer and then waiting some many minutes for the GBs to be copied would be the way, am I correct? Just click "Browse" and pick the new location, and hit OK. It will automatically remount the database. For the public folders, do the same, except instead of the mailbox store, click on the Public Folder Store. I would not worry at all about the permissions if your domain administrator account is the account you used to install Exchange.
They will automatically have the rights necessary. If you made and Exchange-specific administrator account, give that account the permissions in the article. You do not need to cut and paste anything: It moves it for you does not leave a copy behind. It is actually incredibly simple to do, and reasonably quick depending on how large your database is.

To this end I found a Microsoft article ID titled "How to move Exchange databases and logs in Exchange server " I think that moving the exchange data in the following step order might be right.
Change file paths for logs and databases to new MDBData folder location. Copy database files to new MDBData folder location. Change Registry entry for where working exchange database folder is from C to D location. The next screen is one of the more interesting ones and therefore deserves a little extra attention, because in this screen the Mailbox Wizard lets you decide, how it should react if one or more corrupted messages are detected.
But if you select Skip corrupted items and create a failure report the mailbox will be moved, but any corrupted items detected will be deleted from the mailbox, not only on the destination server, but on the source server as well.
So remember to do a backup before moving any mailboxes. You can also specify how many corrupted items are to be skipped before the wizard finally gives up on a specific mailbox. Now its time to specify whether the Mailbox move should be implemented immediately, or if it should be scheduled to some point of time in the future. With scheduling you can prepare the Move Mailbox Wizard to execute during non-working hours, such as from early Saturday morning to early Monday morning.
The Move Mailbox process will execute right away, notice 4 mailboxes are processed at the same time, this is the Multithreading feature, which I briefly mentioned earlier on. When the Mailbox es has been moved, just click Finish.
After the Mailbox move has completed, you can choose to view a detailed log file of the Move Mailbox operation, this log is saved in XML format and can be found under:.

Wesley Answering this question with any more than shot-in-the-dark accuracy will require details such as what the max sustained sequential read and write specs on the volumes on the server and on the SAN, what the available network bandwidth is and what the disk fragmentation looks like.

This way you can move the mailboxes off-hours one by one and each user is only down for the time it takes to move their mailbox. This is how I would do it. This was good practice back when you were still working with Exchange and it still is now. Especially the bit about splitting the DB up - a 79Gb mailstore isn't the big scary horrible thing it was once seen to be, but I'd still have a few concerns about it.
And based on the timing I had with the move, 79Gb isn't all that scary unless you have really slow hardware. The move time was 45 minutes.
