Best practice when deleting a mailing-list (archiving an old list)
Hello,
With Mailman2, my list deletion procedure was quite simple:
- export the list configuration with config_list
- export the list members
- archive the archives somewhere
- remove the aliases manually
- delete the list
I think that with Mailman3, the above can be done as follows:
- export the list configuration with https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/l...
- export the list members with https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs/...
- archive the archives somewhere: this is my main question
- remove the aliases manually: this is automatic
- delete the list
So, is there a simple way to export a list's archives in a way it can be reimported, now that everything seems to be in the database?
Archiving the whole database is an issue here (its compressed dump size > 2 GB).
Thank you for your ideas or pointers!

Assuming you are concerned about a HyperKitty archive, there is a 'Download' button on the list's overview page. If the archive is large, this may time out in which case you can download it in pieces, e.g. via URLs like
to get the year 2020.
