Email Archiving

I have an exchange 2010 server.  How do I check whether my emails are being "archived" somewhere?

What do you mean by archived?

Is this all mail is captured when it is sent or received by your server, this could be done by journaling. There should be journal rules created at Organization configuration, hub transport, journal rules.

Or do you mean which people are using archive mailboxes, this is a separated mailbox attached to the user mailbox. You need to enable this for every single mailbox manually. To see who uses archive mailboxes you can just run the following command in the exchange management shell:  get-mailbox -archive
The Archive options are controlled by Retention policies and policy tags which can be found at Organization configuration, Mailbox
What is the version of Exchange ?
Do you have any Archiving being controlled from the server end or you have Autp-archiving on users Outlook ?

Please share more details so we can try to assist you :)

Exchange 2010. In this industry it's required that we keep 7 years of email history.  Is it OK to use Exchange's mailbox archive feature.
It very much depends on your Organization requirements and Archiving should be set to have a Control over Mailbox size and users as well :)
