Quick Backup Question
If I just want a backup of mails and what not, then a tar -czf scalix.tar.gz /var/opt/scalix/* would work just fine, correct?

while scalix is shut down, yes.
if you want to do this online, you'll need to place /var/opt/scalix on a LVM volume, so that you can do a snaphot. during taking the snapshot, you should also be using the omsuspend command to freeze scalix disk activity.
this will help to make sure that you have a consistent backup.
cheers,
Florian.
