From production to archive ..

Currently running mysql 5.1.xx (who know what precisely as it is Rackspace build) using INNODB tables exclusively.

The problem is that the original architect did not anticipate a future customer with an 11 year data retention policy. So at the 3 year mark we have a handful of
tables approaching 1TB in size.

So the question become how can I effectively peel off a years worth of data to a more long term storage without resorting to dump/restore as mgmt won't allow because it runs for more time than the downtime SLAs allow? Complicate this by the fact that once "archived" the data needs to be retrievable in less than a day.

And yes, I'm aware that I can't shrink INNODB tablespaces .. I'm just looking for a way to keep a handfull of table from needing their own SAN devices.

Thoughts?

Thanks
