Good thing that is not all in a PST ;) -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 16:46 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Archiving folders
You can look at Mailbox Manager (an Exchange5.5 service not installed by default) as an archiving utility. Or use Exmerge to export specific folders or messages by date. You could move that content to another Exchange server within a public folder hierarchy. The external storage, like that of Veritas, removes attachments from the store and leaves the messages with pointers to an external database. 8GB is not bad. Mine is 65GB. Kevin's is pushing 90GB. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 1:17 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Archiving folders Dumb question for you all, just to make your Friday a bit easier :-) First, let me tell you that our Exchange server isn't huge (8GB) and I don't have experience with archiving. Is there anyway that I can archive certain messages or folders to an offline storage area? I know I can archive whole mailboxes, but my situation is that I have some large folders, some with 60,000+ emails, and I'd like to take, say, the oldest 50,000 and move them out of the Exchange database and into a file that would reside on our file server, where there's lots of space. I don't need these to be readily available, but ideally there would be a way I could use some program (maybe OL itself?) to browse through those messages if need be. We're using Ex 5.5 and OL 2000. I know about programs like Veritas Remote Storage, and while that looks like a nice solution that would do a lot of things, it also costs $3500. Any ideas that may be cheaper?
