Hey,
wanted to add the following small explanation to the backup section:
ZFS
optional: create a mountpoint for your mails
-> sudo zfs create path/to/Mail
allow your user to create snapshots
-> sudo allow -u USERNAME snapshot path/to/Mail
add a wrapper like this around your offlineimap [not sure if this could
be called from within offlineimap]
#########
#!/usr/bin/env bash
zfs snapshot path/to/Mail@$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)offlineimap
/path/to/offlineimap -c
#########
that way will work for creating filesystem snapshots and prevent
offlineimap to do massive data destruction
