Archive Solutions For Email Messages

Hello,
I am looking into various ways to archive email messages out of salesforce. As we all know it consumes a lot of data storage and buying additional storage is expensive. I need to know, how you all archive your email messages to get a fair idea of a future solution.

Appreciate all you inputs.

You could use the Partner API to periodically export a list of EmailMessage (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_emailmessage.htm) records. This could be either programmatic or manually via the DataLoader.

Another alternative would be to schedule an export of the email messages. See Exporting Backup Data (https://help.salesforce.com/htviewhelpdoc?id=admin_exportdata.htm&siteLang=en_US)
