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.
