Let's be a bit more clear on this subject. IF you mess around with your M drive, anti-virus, backing up, etc., expect to be doing some fixing. M drive is a virtual drive and NOT to be touched by anything. If you do, you take a great chance of corrupting your M Drive and then the next question you will be asking is, "How do I restore my E2K server?"

The M: drive is a virtual drive looking at the Exchange IS. For any other purpose it is best to leave alone, at the risk of causing database corruption or at least confusion. To backup the Exchange IS you can use the Exchange aware version of NTBACKUP that you get with Exchange installed on Windows, or any number of Exchange aware products specifically designed to backup the Exchange information store, eg: Arcserve, BackupExec etc. You may see an M: drive there, but do your best to ignore it.
