Hey Folks - is anyone reducing the bloat of SharePoint Online sitesand cost of hosting in o365 by manually or automatically archiving sites or libraries to remote storage?
Looking around it looks like the DocAve Archiver has the right functionality needed to do this, but is this the best tool? and where would you dump your archives? into Azure? AWS or local storage?
Would love to get any feedback around this area!

Uhm yes, archiving is still necessary especially when you have users storing documents in a library that exceed the 5000 threshold view limit. Governance and policies enforced by company wide archiving policy.

@Richard Burdes Hi Richard, if you interested to archive really large lists with attachments and offload them from SharePoint Online to your local or online storage I would recommend to have a look at the www.listman.io service. It's a modern .NET app that uses CSOM and allows you to archive or export data from large lists without 5000 view limit. The app could be run by schedule and as a Windows Service and could be evaluated for free. Disclaimer: I'm an author of the tool and would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
