Without backups you are not protected against any kind of human
failures, filesystem corrupsion, fire ++. Mirroring ONLY protects you
against hardware failures on the disk. Mirroring is NOT a replacement
for backup.
If using FreeBSD I think dump(8) should be fast.
If placed on a seperate partition maybe you can even use dd and create
images instead (then you don't need to create large lists of files).
Considering the safetey of Maildir, having messages stored in seperate
files, this should be safe enough?
