Evening Chuck,
When we had archives, they became huge and unuseable because of their size.
The archives should end and start over, now and then.
How often?
Many are not familiar with "End of File", "Invalid End of File".
or "Unexpected End of File". These are messages that mean you have likely
lost a file.
If it is a program file, the program will not likely work until reinstalled.
It used to be common. Likely WindoZZe does not even know or bother telling
us about it.
It usually means you have lost a file.
If a file is valuable, there must be several copies to counter this.
I set the archives on my list to make a new file each month.
I realize this does not enhance any searches. It is better than not have a
file to search.
If the silver list archives run for one year, the file would likely be
several hundred megs, or maybe a gig or two. Way TOO BIG, as you stated.
Here are few of my larger ones.
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 3007-45E3

I have near 200 of these files. Each contains from 10,000 to 30,000 messages.
I usually break them up by year to keep the size down a bit.
When I used to make original Autocad drawings, I would back up the file
once per hour.
If someone is working on an important file or document, backing it up once
per hour is not too often.
Insurance costs little compared to the loss.
