How about copying files on disk?

You could use "find" and/or "grep" to find the messages (= files);
use hardlinks if you're sure that no message will be modified; use
reflinks if the filesystem supports them; or simply copy from your
current area to the archive again and again, if it's not too much
data; use "fdupes" to remove duplicates (= identical content in
differently named files) if there's a chance for duplicates being
created.

Cheers, Marcus
