What is the best way to do a (server-side) backup of all mail in a

I usually just rsync the /home directories to another server. The
inital sync
can take a while, but it gets faster after there is a base to work from.

I have to wonder. I have a mailserver that I do a bootable complete
image copy of with all files and O/S in two hours to an Ultrium-2 tape,
95 GB. When I switch to maildir, I will go from some 25,000 mbox files
to 2.5 to 3 million files...I can't believe that isn't going to hurt and
will force me into incrementals.....
