We had problems with the  SyncKolab plugin and had to switch to Outlook on MS 
Windows and Kmail on linux machines.

maybe in your /kolab/var/imapd/ directory, but not a big change.

I made a litle backupscript (https://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab_backup.sh) 
to do just this. If the server is not too busy you probably can get away with 
this script, but you may have to invest some time in learning to work with 
cyrus recovery tools when you need to restore your data.
