Could you verify your definition of what you consider 'archiving'?

I want to make sure your not confusing archiving & discovery for history/compliance purposes/cross mailbox search with hierarchical storage management (HSM) which allows you to configure storage volumes for older messages. (Ie: Automatically move older messages to cheaper storage solutions, all totally transparent to the user.)
Both are Network Edition features-Zimbra support can help you implement it.

Poor man's 'compliance' would be to always send copies of emails to a particular address using always_bcc &/or forwarding.

Then yes, ZAD (zimbra archiving & discovery) is what you want.

Hot backups (full & incremental) come with the network edition as well
