Help- Exchange out of space!

Using Exchange 2000 server on SBS 2000 on a single server. Clients
cannot open Outlook because cannot connect to Exchnage server. Checked
the partition where Exchange is located and it is oout of space. Have
corresponding Event errors: 9175;1005;482;428;9411;8250, etc all
related to Exchange errors. Outlook last updated with emails about 5
hours ago

1. We have another partition with a lot more space, how can we safely
move Exchange there --is there a wizard?
2. Our last backup of Exchange was 2 days ago because of 2 days of bad
tapes. What precautions should we take before moving Exchange; ie what
can/should we manually backup before doing anything?
3. How can we immediately stop Exchange from running --should we do
this? That way we can retrieve email from web-based service temporarily
before email is pulled in--or maybe Exchange cannot do that at this
point???
4. There is not enough space to run a online defragmentation, etc
--only 500kb left.

Thanks..on way to site now.

Hi,

Use the move the exchange databases or the logs using this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;257184

The exchange databases are probably dismounted - therefore you can't perform
an online backup - which should purge the logfiles.

Online defragmentation does not need extra space - you are thinking on
offline defragmentation which probably won't help any.
