Defrag SBS Server 2003

Hey Experts

what what would be the best practice to defrag my server drives.

I have a main data drive the has the exchange database as well ass the Dynamic data on it, is it okay to schedule a defrag weekly with this drive.  

also should i be defraging all drives on the server regularly?

I have 3 separate raids setup with C being the OS, D being Exhange and Data and I am about to move all the data to the new Raid i just setup.

thanks

Sorry, i missed the Exchange part of the question.

The Exchange database should be in good condition as long as you run backups regulalry that commit the logs.

Exchange performs automatic online defrags during it's regular maintenance schedule. Here is a good piece of information about how Exchange defrag works. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328804

to the author, your question is seeking advice and not a software to do the defragmentation, kindly share the points to all participants as they have spared their time to clear your doubts.
