Hello, I'm from OpenChange, the native-protocols Exchange replacement project at http://openchange.org. We have been thinking about backup, and are developing MAPI-level backup tools (a small advance on what we have already developed.) The basic assumption is that backups of mailboxes, public folders (ie, all the other stuff such as calendars) and groups of the above are important to many users. With full permissions and metadata.
Do you have user demand for this sort of thing? We have written a summary of MAPI issues from a backup implementor's perspective at http://wiki.openchange.org/index.php/OpenChangeForMAPIStoreBackup . You'll find there details of commandline facilities proposed, and clearly this will show you how to use libmapi to achive similar things (only better, since you're backup experts.) We have Perl bindings and are GPL2+ like BackupPC. Feedback wanted! There's the openchange-devel mailing list, the wiki, and irc. We want to push our backup client soon, but want to be sure the design is approximately right as well. We had a discussion with the Bacula people today which had some interesting Backup points but quickly became a problem of license incompatibility.
