Back up IMAP Server

Question

If I move to a hosted IMAP mail server solution (e.g. Google Apps) is there a way to have an on-site back up of the mail server that can be used as a local mail archive and backup solution? What would I need to set up internally to achieve this?

A hosted solution is very attractive for a small company but With potential lose of internet connect I need my users to always get at their e-mail.

What are the options for such a hybrid mail solution?

I'm using offlineimap + local dovecot server with some success for the same purpose.

However, note that offlineimap is not really meant for multiuser usage.

It might not be designed for multiuser, but it does the job admirably. – womble Nov 26 '09 at 22:19

Setup an IMAP server on your side and run imapsync periodically.
