Keep in mind that storing mail in a RDBMS as a backup requires an efficient method to restore mail into your mail server's format. Would it be possible to have a second mail server internal to your network that would receive copies of the mail from the primary mail server to store them as a backup? This would be closer to real time and for the most part would beat the 30 minute interval to do an rsync. In addition, if the system proved reliable you could rsync the secondary at night and not have the primary down at all.
