What backup software are you using?
Not to take away from the advantages of mdbox, but...
I use rsnapshot, and am pushing the backups to an NFS mount on a cheaper
NAS (QNAP) device, and the initial full backup of 300+GB of maildirs
(not sure how many more millions of files, but a lot more than yours I
imagine) only took about 4 or 5 hours. The subsequent runs now take
anywhere from 1-2 hours...
So, maybe it is your backup software that is broken?
I am also planning on migrating to mdbox, for two reasons - much less
files to backup (should reduce backup snapshot times to minutes,
allowing me to add many more during the day), and I also want to enable
SIS to reduce dramatically the overall storage requirements (we use a
lot of large attachments, and I know for a fact that they are duplicated
many times over, so the overall storage should be reduced by half or
more)...
