### Backup mailboxes
All mailboxes are stored under `/var/vmail/vmail` by default, this path is
configurable during iRedMail installation, so the real directory may be

mailboxes with tool like `rsync` or other backup tools.
### Backup mail accounts
Mail accounts are stored in SQL/LDAP database. iRedMail provides shell scripts
