Hi Lloyd I hope you don't object to me stating the obvious. I think this may be worth stating to those that subscribe to this argument. Personally I would agree but for one problem. Disk space is only as good as your ability to back it up and big backup devices are not cheap. A basic Ultrium 3 tape drive costs about $5000 and thats without any tapes etc etc. In addition of course as more space is used the probability of data corruption or loss increases. Simple logic dictates that the more Bytes you have the more chance there is of one getting corrupted. Hope that helps?

So, housekeeping is the most important lesson for the end users. Basically the attitude I have to deal with is, hard drives are a few $$ per GB so if users want multi GB mailboxes I should deliver and just keep increasing their mail boxes sizes. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: paul_lemonidis@xxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
