Archive messages, appts, etc.?

Outlook has an archiving function that can run automatically, with various
settings, to move old items to a .pst file located either locally or on a
server. This .pst file can be opened within Outlook so that it looks like
just another collection of mailboxes.

We use Exchange, and I'm trying to duplicate the archiving function found in
Outlook using Entourage. The Export function in Entourage uses the word,
archive, but it's not a true archiving process, just a back up.

I thought, maybe a script would do it, but a quick look at the dictionary
for Entourage in Script Editor doesn't look promising. It's possible to move
items manually, but then, the Export process doesn't seem to allow for
selecting items by age, or even by location.

Has anyone else tried to do this? Were you successful?

Not sure whether scripts would be able to do that, but there's no archieving option in Entourage as it's in outlook.

Entourage 2004 can export to a .rge file that opens in Entourage.
