One of my client is storing the emails on Varbinary(max) column, it has to be kept in the database for at least 10 years and as you can imagine, database is becoming huge (with an year's email , its over 700GB ). and the backups are 500GB+ ; has anyone faced similar issues ? I was thinking about moving them to a Filestream column, but my tests shows it doesn't worth it ? is there any other options ?
thanks in advance/..
