Quota, Archiving best practices

Hi all,we have domino from about 1,5 year, and now mailboxes sizes are gowing up faster than we were thinking… We have user mailboxes of over 5 Gbs!

From your experiences, what’s the best pratice in:

  • User quota: what’s the best user quota we should use? Nonw we haven’t fixed any maximum size!

  • Mailboxes dimension: what’s the maximum size (safe) of a mail file? In terms of performace?

  • Archiving: what’s the best strategy? Archiving on local pc mail older than a certain date, or directly on another server? Do you use 3rd party mail archiving software?

  • We are getting to give users a archiving staregy as follow: emails older than one year are moved to a user local database (classical archive strategy), and this database (archive) is replicated on another NAS server. Is it a good choice or has it hidden problems?

THANK YOU!

Regards,

Andrea
