Where are the exchange 2010 personal on premise archive files stored?
I've enabled on premise archiving for a couple of mailboxes. I can see that the archive has been created and old email have been moved. Generally the archive files reside on the local computer as archive.pst. Where are they stored after enabling this feature? i'm sure it's obvious but i can't find it.

Okay i went to OWA and found the archive there. So my my followup question is, and this may be a dumb question and i may not have the right terminology. Since it's still on OWA does the archive exist in our Mailboxes on our local exchange server? I want to reduce the size of the mailboxes in Exchange to gain some performance. I've been told that very large mailboxes has a hit on Exchange's performance.

WOW. thank you for such a clear explanation. Our max mailboxes are around 3GB which in light of what you said isn't very big.
I'd say 3-5GB is about average for a mailbox. But yea, lots of studies out there to show how mailboxes and mail itself keep growing year over year. So, each new version of Exchange pushes that limit for database size and mailbox size.

Thanks again.
