You could mitigate this by splitting your backups into multiple
configurations (easy if you have multiple drives or a changer), and making
the mail server a separate backup. (If you're in the Undisclosed Summons of
America, you might not want to keep your e-mail backups as long as you keep
your other backups anyway.)
