You better do so :-)
BTW, that was the reason for my initial question. A OS level
backup will always save deleted messages too unless you do a
compress before. Sorry for not beeing verbose enough.
When I think about it: did somebody check how TB backup handles
this? Are deleted messages still there after a restore?
