Look what the shell does to your command (using bash's -vx option):
Code:
$ grep 'F:\\app\\data\\misc\\server' file
+ grep 'F:\\app\\data\\misc\\server' file
$ grep "F:\\app\\data\\misc\\server" file
+ grep 'F:\app\data\misc\server' file
$ grep 'F:\app\data\misc\server' file
+ grep 'F:\app\data\misc\server' file

So - follow DGPickett's advice: "Maybe either single quotes OR escape but not both"
