Good morning. I am looking for a server-side archiving solution to be applied to a relatively large cyrus installation. The customer eats up ca 4 TB of data over about 4000 accounts. No quota. The competition is: who will die first? The web-based client or our SAN+backup system? :-) I am aware cyrus can handle the folder tree of a single account over different cyrus partitions. This might mean more complex maintenance and way longer restore times but it does indeed require 100% good user behavior in archiving old messages in the proper subtree. Unless administratively old messages are moved away once a year (what an impact on I/O and backups...). A good search engine did not return useful links, or I used wrong keywords. Some commercial email products have solutions to handle old messages or just their attachments: is there something that would apply to our beloved cyrus? How do you handle large and rarely accessed old messages? Thanks, Paolo PS: I am not after a regulations compliant archiving, just something to offload the main (expensive) storage. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
