Several of my customers who have users with lots of data (law firms and financial services companies primarily, who also often have regulatory reasons for keeping data as well) use products like Enterprise Vault from KVS for long term archival storage. The cost of discovery against a network share and wherever else they might be stashed makes an investment in something like KVS seem like a bargain.
