The magnets in them are great for the fridge, you can hold a lot of
papers with just one. They are also fun to use to mess with people,
"heh, take that magnet off that file cabinet will you?".

Old hard drives can be mildly entertaining to watch work with the lid off. I'm
sure they'll go fairly quick, but I've read and written 5GB without a top once.
Also fun to scratch the platter on a running drive. And don't get me started
on the fun magnets.

We have some 3, 4, and 6GB hard drives if anyone wants them for the cost of
shipping. However, some of them have bad blocks (and they have been wiped
using gdisk).
And Jeffrey has a 40MB (that's MB, not GB) hard drive installed in his Amiga
1200 (currently mothballed), and an 800MB drive in an external case he uses
for data storage with his Amiga emulator on his Windows 7 desktop system
(and about a dozen 100MB zip disks, as well).
Sincerely,
Jeffrey and Mary Jane Harris

10 years ago we had 1T of data, now we have 18T (and planning to upgrade our
storage next year).

Me too. When I arrived here eight years ago, we had 32 gigs of data. Now we
have over 2 TBs...
Just buy larger servers...

I have attempted to tackle this issue before, I like to call it "encourage
spring cleaning!" but my words always seem to fall on deaf ears.
Lately every time I bring it up we end up buying more hard drives for the
server! I give up. Maybe I'm just too cheap?

In regards to email, we were able to establish a retention policy that
messages in the Inbox, Sent Items, and Deleted Items folders are all
deleted after 90 days. Exchange mailbox manager allowed to do that
weekly. Don't manage other folders. Not perfect, but it helped.

I'd be interested in a solution to this. Been fighting it for years
to no avail, other than running a "data inventory" program (such as
TreeSize) and doing a manual compare.
Don't forget all of the email attachments saved along with the

Subject: document sprawl
Hello Everybody</Dr. Nick>
I'd like to pick your brains about how you deal with document sprawl,
I was reading in another thread about how users would use their
"Recycle Bin" as their archive.<shudder>
we have users that will keep tens of copies of the same document in
various locations around their "My Documents"; as well as in tens of
locations within our "shared" folders on the network ...
User education only goes so far when it comes to "please don't do
that" as they nod and then keep doing it.
I think we've moved beyond being nice and we've found ourselves
mired in needing a sledgehammer. I'd just like to wrap it in a bit
of velvet.
Thoughts, Policies, procedures etc, would be helpful in this.
TIA
