AFAIK there is no cyrus option to do this. Moreover cyrus does not separate 
attachments from the message body, so the whole message would need to be 
gzipped. For each and every message.

Well, replicate live mailboxes data rather than rely on a single node and 
frequent backups. :-) I'm also starting to love the delayed expunge facility 
with respect to cheap disk space.
