Sujay, If you keep your summary data for more than a month you could run a summary query on the first of each month (I can't access a server at the moment to test this so the field and function names may be wrong, but you'll get the idea)
Select sum(bytes) from summary where activity='ARCHIVE' and month(Start_time)= month(current date - 1 month) Alternatively, you could turn on accounting, and sum all the archived bytes in the accounting data file for the month.
