Pretty much, just not in background in the technical sense.
It builds the new version (and the binary rpms needed to do the upgrade) in
the sandbox. This happens while the present system continues to operate as
normal.

Sort of. It copies the new binary rpms out of the sandbox (the sandbox is
disposable), backs up configuration files, stops qmail, upgrades the
existing toaster with a single 'rpm -Uvh' command using all the new binary
rpms, restores the configuration files (if so chosen - the script lets you
choose to do the restores or not), and starts the new qmail toaster.

In a nutshell, yes.

There shouldn't be. Backups are always a good thing though. You may want to
run qtp-backup beforehand as a safety measure. Also, everything that the
qtp-newmodel script backs up is retained in the /usr/src/qtp-upgrade/backup
directory, just in case you need to manually restore something, or for
future reference.

All existing email is untouched, as are queues.
