Question on 12GB partitioned Hard Drive, SBS2k

I've looked this up and had some questions. Received a new Dell server two
weeks ago with SBS preinstalled. Added 10 users. Dell installed the C
partition with 12 Gigs only.

Veritas 9.1 backup running. Symantec Antivirus
running. Clients using POP3 mail only for now. A question. I 've noticed
this in the last week. The free space on the c drive is going down by about
200 megs a day. I looked at my Exchange folder C:\program files\ and it has
remained the same.

I am going to look at every directory. The C drive is pretty basic. My swap
file is on a separate partition.

Since I got the drive and set it up, the drive has remained constant at free
space at 4.23 gigs.

On
5/2204, exchange server directory is 1.07gb in size, 4.27gb space available
on the
entire c drive

5/23/04, exchange server directory is the same, 4.25gb available on the
entire c drive

5/24/04, exchange server directory is the same, 4.23gb available on the
entire c drive


What files should I be looking at? What is growing on my HD by 200 megs a
day? I'll do a directory by directory search but was looking to see how I
can prevent this.

Ultimately, is it relatively easy to move exchange over to another drive?

Thanks

John

Hi Cries,
The directory is empty. My exchange directory's size is remaining constant
and rarely changes.No viruses found. No spyware. Still checking. At this
rate, I'll run out of space in the next couple of weeks.
