I was speaking of backing up the original messages.

Backing up the bayes_* files would let you restore the database to a
particular point in time, which is useful if you know that it went bad
at a particular point in time. That would save you re-learning from
scratch up to that point in time. You'd restore the old bayes_* files,
examine the corpa (saved original messages) past that point to correct
erroneus classifications (e.g. a user dropped a bunch of spams in the
ham folder), and then re-learn from that point forward to bring it
current.

Does that make sense?
