    Most really big companies i've worked with do exactly like you said
    so they will have like

    JournalArchive_2013_Qtr1
    JournalArchive_2013_Qtr2
    JournalArchive_2013_Qtr3
    JournalArchive_2013_Qtr4
    JournalArchive_2014_Qtr1

    There are multiple benefits, many you mentioned
    - Index Rebuilds/Repairs/Conversions are easier/quicker when its limited to a short time range
    - EVSVR Verify/Repairs can be quicker when limiting it to a certain archive
    - DA Searches can be more precise, and i've seen several smaller archives search quicker than one monster archive
    - If you reach the 2 Billion limit in a vault store, you can easier manage the archives when new vault stores need to be created
