Okay forget that. It seems that the graphs already can display the last
2 years worth of data. I have changed a couple of files to also allow
'Last 5 Years' (although I can't test this without 5 years of data). No
need for any specific archiving mechanism though :-)

I also note that when using the last 5 years the graph time axis nicely
automatically changes from months (Jan, Feb, Mar etc) to the years
(2006, 2007, 2008 etc). Not sure what is doing that, but happy that it
does :-)
