[Dovecot] Great time savings backing a mdbox versus Maildir

[Javier de Miguel Rodríguez]

Hello

     No, 24 hours is for a FULL backup in the weekend. An incremental 
backup is only 2-3 hours in the night every day.

     About performance... I can not give you real numbers of Maildir vs 
mdbox. In Maildir our indexes were stored in a ram disk, but we can not 
do that with mdbox (we can not recreate them if power is lost).
