The problem with backing only the latest copy of a file is that you’ll lose anything preceding it. These days having multiple copies of files is very important especially if you’re a writer, designer, manager, etc. At present, having two or more copies is not a problem anymore as storage is becoming cheaper each year. You can now buy a 1TB hard disk for less than $100 – down 50% when compared to five years ago.

Also, businesses prefer to have more than one version of a file, which can then be used for the organizations’ stability in the long run.

If your constant problems are reaching the mailbox limit and having to monitor the file size of your PST, why not migrate to the cloud – fully or partially. With email cloud computing, you don’t have to worry about storage quota. AND backups are done automatically. No compliance, trouble, and difficulties on your part.

And this is what Microsoft Exchange is all about. This program has now almost completely integrated to the cloud. One particular program is the Outlook Web App. Through this application, almost all forms of communication (such as messages sent and received through email, IMs. text messages, and voice mail) can now be accessed using the cloud.

Of the three, I think email archiving fits the needs of most organizations regardless of size. PST files can be too cumbersome and are often used improperly by users, but archiving allows for backups of all important messages from old to new in a simple, straightforward way. Obviously, you want to go with what works best for you and your team, but that’s just my two cents.
