I respectfully disagree.
First, my experience with SuperDuper is different from yours. It
automatically backs up my disk drive while PowerMail is running. I have
no problems restoring my mail.
I can't speak for Leopard but I can tell you that Silver Keeper has
never given PowerMail a problem when backing while PM is active over the
many years I've used it. I tried to minimize those occurrences but when
it did happen that PM was active during a backup, no ill effects were
ever observed.
As I am now on a single disk iMac (running Tiger), I am not backing up
anything. In a few months, I will be buying an external drive and maybe
Leopard too. At that point, some backup system will be put in place.
