Subject: RE: Disk Space Was: Audit log retention & disk space
What gets me are the folks who won't purge obsolete stuff. I have demonstrated to one client that he could recover 25% of the 17TB he's using by doing 2 things - Running reorgs on files with millions of deleted records, and getting rid of transaction and customer comment records going all the way back to the 90's.
