I think this is a misconception. While Akonadi runs a private MySQL server instance, it does not do so with PostgreSQL. Instead, it just creates its own database that is served by the single, system-wide PostgreSQL server instance. In other words, your data will be stored somewhere below /var/lib/postgresql. As far as backups go, are you sure you even need to backup the Akonadi database? Is there anything in the database that won't be recreated from its original source? If your contacts are stored in one or many vCard files and your calendar is in an iCal/ics file, I don't think you'll lose anything when you just switch to PostgreSQL. But don't take my word for it -- and make backups!
