Who the heck is trolling ? I'm asking a valid question, for a
problem that concerns me. I run several e-mail servers, and the
main problem I have with those is backup.

Okey, you lost me here.

Is 40gig enough for 2000 users imap accounts ?

If that is the case, you don't even need DLT, a simple DAT72 unit
would be enough.

I have a corporate server here for 400 accounts, and it is already at
37GIG.

On the other hand, I know it was mentioned he would be implementing
quota. And it IS for students, but I really think anything less
than 100M/user (allocated) for Imap is not enough.

So, please show me the flaw in my thinking. Even tho you think I'm
trolling, this stuff IS an issue for me and the servers I run. If you
can point me to the flaws in my reasoning, I will be very greatful,
since you will be saving me money.
