      Can you not do that with OWA? I've definitely not tried, just wondering.

        I try to explain the problem with the size in Exchange but they just don't care.

        Only way I found to reduce the Exchange Database was use Pst, we have a lot, and many are really big.

        I put all of them in an old server, 12 years old, It works perfect, no problems since I use this system.

        Why not just let Exchange get bigger? How much are we talking per user? Average and worst case?

        We still use Exchange 2003 , actual database size is near to 200Gb, It's complicate recover backups with this size.

        I hope in 2016 we move to Exchange Online and I can forget Pst and Exchange Backups with Backup Exec.

          OMG 2003!! Exchange was so bad back then. It wasn't really usable until 2010. 2013 was a huge leap forward. 200GB is not that large for a single mailbox in 2013, but for a 2003 system that is problematic.

            200GB Exchange database, not mailbox.

                It's not so bad for a SMB, just one little problem in the 5 years I'm working here.

                Now thanks to Outlook 2013 and 2016, they are not compatible with Exchange 2003, they are thinking in move the mail to Exchange Online.

                  It was the disaster of Exchange 2003 that drove us to Zimbra back in that era 🙂

                    Amazed you don't have all kinds of problems with a mail store that large on 2003.

                    MS improved disk performance and a million other things with new versions of Exchange - damn you really want to move ASAP 😉

                      For an entire store, 200GB isn't all that big. That's four mailboxes in the Hosted Exchange world 🙂

                        Not bad for an Exchange 2003 😏

                            Our exchange team has us limited to 100MB mailboxes (we archive forever off of exchange though). and we still have 2.5TB of Mailboxes.

                              lol - I do the same thing here.

                              But now I'm reconsidering that. And I'm looking at what it will take for us to move to O365.

                                For our environment it cost roughly 45K(it's 4.5K not 45K) to migrate all data out of our third party Exchange server. This include 5 years worth of compliance achived data.

                                EDIT: Just went through the quote again and it was 4.5K. wow... 45K... LOL

                                  Why so expensive? Do you need to migrate the archive data? Can you leave it where it is until it expires?
