The DB File backend for the Archives has an auto backup feature; the SQL backend does not – it is advised to you create a simple auto-backup routine for your SQL tables. Not really a disadvantage, but the SQL backend will not speed up your mailing list sendings. It is now my official recommendation that you use the SQL backend, if possible. This is not set by default for an easier installation process.
