RE: How to temporarily make all mailboxes read-only for backup purposes?
Why would you want to do that? Afaik sdbox stores email per file.
There is also an index file which stores meta attributes per mail/file and I want them to be consistent.
The mta just delivers the email later and your backup is already old.
That's not really am argument. Just imagine the mail would have been sent some moment later after the backup has been started. In that case the mail wouldn't be in the backup either. A backup on a regular schedule for catastrophe recovery always has the "issue" that it will be old by half the time of the schedule on average in case one really needs it.
Regarding snapshots on ZFS an similar file system:
Not an option as I am using a shared hoster and the file system does not allow snapshots.
