A way I do it is to archive the stuff on to disk. When disk gets full
move the 'oldnotes' directory to 'oldnotes.MMDD' (or something simialiar)
at which I archive the directory on to tape.  If I need something off of
archive, I just move the current directory (pain in the rear if you forget),
and restore the archive directory, and then mv 'oldnotes.MMDD' 'oldnotes'.
(Assuming you have enough disk space for both, otheriwse you have to archive
the other ones or mount another filesystem on 'oldnotes')

The only thing I can think that would be nice. Is a way to switch to alternate
archive, that way you wouldn't have to move them (the directories), and a way
( I maybe missing something somewhere) to get a print out of just the index
page of an archive.
