Backing up maildir is easy, just backup (and restore) the whole thing and, usually, that's as simple as that.
However, for saving some backup space if that's a matter, i would exclude only the 'dovecot.index.cache*' files, as these can be rebuilt (some performance hit after the restore, of course) but, in some servers, that makes almost a 10% difference to me.
Besides the cache files, you really should backup everything inside the maildir folders.
