Because we only get allocated a certain amount of space on Exchange, and 
most people quickly go over that limit within a few months of emails. 
Everyone I know that works here moves files off into local PSTs to be able 
to keep emails longer than that (which is essential in this job).  Some 
people keep one huge PST (which I think is a bad idea) others like me have 
several PST files for different areas of the job, and the big ones I usually 
split up by year or even by quarter if there is a large volume of data.

I got vshadow from the vss sdk which was a small free download from MS.  So 
far I've just been hacking about with the standard copy command to check 
that vshadow works, will look into robocopy later, it's on my list of things 
I know are possible but just need to be implemented now :-)
