No you shouldn't go to the m drive. That drive is just a virtual drive that is created while the information store is started. Once the information store is switched off, the M drive is vanished. From NT backup there is an option on exchange to backup the information store. -----Original Message----- From: Saud [mailto:saud@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, June 02, 2002 1:52 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange 2000 Backup http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! running win2k and e2k on the same server.
