The storage used by Entourage is often referred to as a "database". Other databases I work with have one or another checkpoint-plus-transaction-log method that permits restoring a snapshot without full-body copying of the database for every snapshot. Without presuming to know better than the Entourage development team, such an approach (perhaps optional) seems worth considering.
