As our archives approach a terabyte in size, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or tips for handling archive growth and storage. I've got some ideas, but am wondering what others might be doing. Just as background, we have a few thousand lists, and support a mid-sized university population, with list creation open to faculty, staff, and students.
My first thoughts involve purging old/unused lists, message retention policies, whether attachments have been scrubbed- that sort of thing. Are there single lists that have -huge- archives or are there just a lot of lists with small archives?
For instance, if none of a list's members are still active accounts, does it make sense to keep the archive online, or to retain it at all?
