Since you are running ARS 7.1.x, I suspect you are storing CLOBs out of row(default config) which will increase the db size drastically. We have gone through conversions to move the CLOBS to in-row, and it shrank the db anywhere from 60-80%. You can have your dba review the tables to confirm the CLOB tables are consuming a lot of disk space or not.

First find out business timeframe and condition for data archieving. 2. Identify main forms and related forms to archieve. Use any of the above tool or similar tool to migrate data. Challenge here would be data integritiy which should be impacted. Good Luck !!
