My management designs and sells disaster recovery products for mission critical solutions, so I like to think that they know a little something about disasters. > When we told them their stupidly > large mailbox attributes to general slowness of the e-mail > server, longer backup and restore times, higher chance of > loss of data from a recovery, and numerous other bad things, > they had no problems with us taking actions to reduce the > size of their mailbox. I understand how more data can contribute to longer restore times, but how do they contribute to general slowness on an appropriately sized server or an increased chance of data loss from a recovery? > I'm glad none of you guys run my mail server for me.

I have customers with terabytes of e-mail storage who see their investment in technology as something which allows them to /create/ millions of dollars in business. I guess it just depends on the perspective. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
