I have not done that much. In a good, local, and smooth environment, it would likely take about a half day to do this. I do not think much quicker and it could be longer. Network and server traffic would slow things down. <br />

Start one at 8:00am local time and let it complete. That will tell you how long in your environment. ... Thinkpads_User

I do not see many networks running at a 100Mbits with server load and users. So factor that down by 10 (not unreasonable) and that lands back at 4 hours (thereabouts). <br />

Have some users that have 12-14GB woth of emails. &nbsp;Want to archive to free up space on the Exchange server.<br />
<br />
Need an estimate on how long it would take to archive that much data? &nbsp;Just an estimate will do.<br />
<br />
thanks
