That is not what the docs say. They say that with Postgresql you have a choice, and that the data can either be held in a server instance or in an embedded form (like the MySql data).

"By default, a local PostgreSQL server instance will be started for each user. Alternatively, connection to an external PostgreSQL database is supported as well." > > As far as backups go, are you sure you even need to backup the Akonadi > database?
