hardware and backup questions

[Bartosz Jozwiak]

Hello,

I am planning to install new Cyrus IMAP server for about 5000 mailboxes.
Can somebody advise me what kind of hardware would be sufficient?

Could somebody point me where I can find some useful information about 
backing up Cyrus IMAP.

Thank you in advance,
Bartosz
