Incoming messages are first stored in ~/Maildir/tmp. They are only moved to
~/Maildir/new once the file write is complete. Therefore, as long as you
are only backing up ~/Maildir/cur and ~/Maildir/new, you shouldn't have any
risk of incomplete file back-ups.

Not familiar with this program, but any file copier should do, even plain
old "cp -r".
