Oh sorry, Exchange 2003, and there is no M drive in 2003.
Plus as far as I know I can only have a store of 16gb anyway (2003 standard), each user gets a 250mb box. (on that note I *would think* i would never need more that 16 gig to backup) I was actually contemplating running the native windows backup ( of the store ) then run a script to copy it over to our NAS device ( which does a Full backup nightly).
