dsync works for that too:
- dsync backup all users somewhere

The idea is that you can do incremental dsync backups. You'll of course need to do this in a way that you don't run out of disk space..
Well I have NFS access to a Netapp filer with a LOT of disk space I need some modifications in my dovecot configuration to use NFS I think ?
No need for any modifications. As long as you don't have multiple Dovecots in different servers accessing the same mails via NFS, there's no trouble.
mmap_disable = yes
Looks like you also have this already enabled. This is recommended (not required) with NFS, but if you're not normally using NFS at all you shouldn't enable this.
