It pretty much does the right thing out of the box.

The only configuration we've done is use the "metapartition" option  
to place the squat data on a separate filesystem than the mail spool  
databases & files.   This way we're not snapshotting them or backing  
them up, since they're easily recreated.

While their size is only a fraction of a folders', they get  
completely regenerated any time a folder gets updated -- so they  
could end up making a significant impact on your daily incremental  
backups.
