What sort of data transfer is that in terms of bandwidth?

Does the server do the archiving automatically or is it done manually? 
There was an occasion a few weeks ago where I wanted to find something 
I'd deleted from trash but  it wasn't up on the archive server.

Thanks again for your efforts Jon, I'm sure everyone else here will echo 
my appreciation.
