Good info from the others and only other thing to address is your logs i.e.

1. Where are you storing the logs, what drive and path?
2. how much space is that currently taking up?
3. how often are you backing up and whats the oldest log file?

1. storing logs are on same F: drive F:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata
2. taking up about 1GB
3. full back up Mon to Fri using backupexec 12.5
