No he don't (grow exponentially) because you can use something like
rsnapshot www.rsnapshot.org . This is a perl script to use rsync and
hardlink to make low-tech snapshot, and only difference between two moment
you make your snapshot is write on disk. 

<copy/paste from www.rsnapshot.org)
Using rsync and hard links, it is possible to keep multiple, full backups
instantly available. The disk space required is just a little more than the
space of one full backup, plus incrementals. 
<copy/paste from www.rsnapshot.org)

and this thing work fine.

But my question is after I have my snapshot (this I know how can I do this ;-))
how can I tell courier-imap there many INBOX for each user ? For the
read/writable of course I can use unix chmod.

Thanks.
