backup without stopping the imap server?

[Patrick Radtke]

If you are adventurous you can try running the 2.3 code from CVS.
You can build it with replication, and then it can replicate everything 
from one machine to a secondary/replica machine.

That way you always have a backup that is just a few seconds behind the 
original.

To make tape backup you can shutdown the replica and copy from that.

The primary server stays running and no users are affected.
