I'm hoping someone else will chime in here on this one, but my understanding is not really. On the other hand as long as you set your settings right I believe it should work. I thought about it some more over the weekend, just spend some good time in the setup and admin guide and make sure you do good backups at the outset in case you miss anything. Again, I'm pretty new myself so hopefully someone with more experience will chime in a little yay or nay.
On vault properties if you set to never that should help also check the archive usage limit and to ensure it does not fill up. Under your File System archive properties I would check out the advanced tab and delete expired items and on your shortcuts tab make sure nothing there is checked.
The one final thing you will probably need to consider is that if your using the same vault store this could create an issue for you as if your email and files are in the same vault store then your emails will stay on the server because you'll never delete the files as the setting to remove files and leave placeholders is on a store by store basis.
One final note; IF your file server is 2003 you can use Volume Shadow Copy for this purpose.
