It's the only way to restore ALL mail, since backups miss anything that came and went between backups. The additional storage is only for storing messages expunged in the past N days. A short 7 days meets most needs, and also, then your backups would be complete. Weigh the cost of disk space against the staff cost of mounting backups, finding and copying data, and doing reconstructs.
