I am not sure what kind of emails you are archiving, but would it be
possible for you to zip or compress bunches of files.. like once a day.
then do the backup.
That way instead of backing up thousands of files, you only have to backup
one zipped or compressed files. Then when you do have a problem and need
to restore you can restore volume faster.
