No, my MS-archives would be (if I used them) for handling system
failures too. Especially if I archived to a different PC than the one
under my desk. As it happens I don't trust the auto-archive feature, so
I make simple file-copies of the mail database. But they are restored
just as easily as an MS-archive.
