I am looking for something that is similar to replication, but without a second server. I currently have a system setup using postfix bcc to write out copies of all email, but what I would rather do is just have all the mail written to /usr/local/virtual/%u/Maildir and also to /backup/usr/local/virtual/%u/Maildir (for example) as this will make restoring messages much simpler.

Note: doveadm backup is not a solution because it replicates the current state of the mailstore, what I need is a separate backup that is not altered by user’s screwing things up or accidentally deleting mail.
Certainly, a way to expire older mails from the backup would be great, but the crucial “feature” is that the backup doesn’t delete any mails based on user action.

Any ideas on how to do this?
A sort of copy on save function.
