That's the theory anyway. :)
How often are they created anyway?
Whenever dovecot.index file would normally get recreated, the old one is first link()ed to dovecot.index.backup. So that depends on various things. You could compare timestamp differences between dovecot.index and dovecot.index.log in your current system. Perhaps I should add some extra code that guarantees that .backup gets created at least once .. a day? week? .. (assuming there have been changes)
I would like it to happen as often as possible unless you expect a lot of I/O to happen on this account. In that case perhaps it could be made a configurable option so the system administrator could decide for himself which risk/performance profile would fit in the specific situation?
