Hello,<br />
<br />
Our company just took over a new account. &nbsp;The disk that their exchange 2007 store is on has only 4GB left. &nbsp;I have convinced them to move to a hosted email solution, however, i would like to give us some cushion so nothing bad happens. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What I did (which I thought would clean up some space) was had two users with 20GB mailboxes archive half their mailbox. &nbsp;I set the deletion settings to 1 day and ran a backup. &nbsp;I checked the size of their mailboxes and they are under 10GB each yet &nbsp;I am not seeing this reduction in actual disk.<br />
<br />
Googling this topic would consume my day. &nbsp;I just need to know any way to give me some cushion until we migrate them. &nbsp;There is no other disk with more than 40 GB of free space on the network.
