What is correct way to backup dovecot store? Is am I right what is just enough to copy all maildir and my configuration. So in case failure I can just prepare new machine copy config, maildirs and I'm good to go with this.
I think that you should use a cheap machine with a disk drive as big as the mail server's (or use squashfs) and imapsync every night... that way people will be able to access their mail the next second that the big server fails. Look at http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync
It's just an idea... not the best way to do it I guess...
I know about imapsync cuz I'm already done migration using it ;).
