As I'm working for an archiving company I have to comment that as it's not
completely correct. If you really want to archive things you have to write
them to a non-changeable media and still should be able to retrieve it.
This is what we're doing with e.g. Exchange. You archive the email so that
only a reference stays on the server (and on the client) and if you want to
read the email later it's retrieved from the archive server.
_But_ as this is a big commercial solution I do agree with Ingo here as this
is probably the cheap way to go.
