Dear,

We use daily btrfs snapshots and send them incrementally to our FreeBSD 
backup server using rsync. This way we get backups with little to no 
performance overhead, no need for locks and such things.

On the FreeBSD side, we use a ZFS raidz that is backuped daily.

Since this solution has virtually no impact on performance and disk 
space, you could even consider backing up messages every 30 mn w/o very 
much performance problems.

One advantage with Kolab (compared to, say, Bluemind) is that almost 
everything lies on the filesystem, so there is no need for database backups.

Yours sincerely,
