[Dovecot] Backing up dovecot

Hello people,

Well, what the subjects says :-) I have a dovecot/Horde installation and would like to know :

a. How safe will I be backing up dovecot

b. What folders/files to backup

Let me see now; I am running dovecot v1.2.15 Here's a dump of "dovecot -n" :

[root@mailgate ~]# dovecot -n # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5PAE i686 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) ext3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-info.log ssl: required ssl_parameters_regenerate: 48 verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable: /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: * Dovecot ready * login_max_processes_count: 32 mail_location: maildir:/var/MailRoot/domains/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins: zlib auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u userdb: driver: passwd

Thank you all,

Best regards,
