To expound on Richard's admonitions about the size of the archive, consider a slight modification:
objects="c:\archive7yr\,d:\archive7yr\" Have your users place files they want archived into that directory with the knowledge that you back it up on a monthly basis. Then delete the contents of the directory. Kelly J.

Also, unless you have the right Excludes prepared, you will be archiving everything on the drives, which seemingly will include a lot of system files which will be worthless space-consumers in the archive storage pool and database.
