I would call this archiving rather than back-up, but I see what you
mean. I was talking about something else, obviously. ;-)

That's what I meant. I don't need to WinRAR or zip them, because I
delete anything that's older than 14 to 90 days (depending on folder).
And I overwrite an older back-up with a newer one. I don't keep
message for years any more. Turned out I hardly ever search very old
messages, unless I deem it important enough to keep it, then I park
it. I actually go to the TBUDL and TBBETA archives on the web if I
really want to look up something old. That's hardly once a month, so
not worth keeping my own archives.
