You NEED to read this strait away before you touch anything on this server. They use an exchange aware back like NTbackup on the server itself. Then you need to forget you EVERY saw that M drive until you read up on it, and TEST USING your Test lab MANY Times before you put it in production.

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.
