I've asked a similar question in the past but haven't come across a
definitive answer. So here's what I do and what I'd like to see in TB!

I've created a separate folder called Archive, which uses a different
directory (different drive) for the messages. This folder contains
folders for TBDL, TBBETA etc. That is, my high volume folders.
Consequently, they aren't backed up when I run my daily backup routine.

Unfortunately, copying messages to the archive is only semi-automated. I
use manual filters to move messages to the corresponding archive file if
they are older than 90 days. I'd love to automate this. It's shame
Scheduler can't automate this. Just a thought: perhaps Marck's monthly
reminder could be used to trigger this?

Suggestions and alternatives welcome!

I tried MB for a while but found it much slower than TB! What's more,
I'd rather keep all my messages together.
