Hi Bill
My big complaint with Dell installs is this exact issue. I always reinstall
on Dells immediately and set the defaults for Users and Data to D to avoid
the moving issue. It doesn't take that long and avoids mistakes in the move
process. Besides if this is your first install of SBS and you intend to do
more, reading the getting started on CD1 and doing a fresh install will be a
good learning experience.
As far as SQL backups, use SQL Enterprise manager to do at least daily
backups to your D drive and then let your Backup program bakup the SQL .bak
files
In my opinion you should use the SBS Backup program which uses Shadow copy
to backup exchange and do a Total on a Daily basis. This clears your log
files and gives you a much better restorable backup.
