It would be a way to keep a second offline replica for backing up to a tape archive, which is what I plan to do. I realize it's slower than the standard rolling replication but the archive is mainly for "ooops I deleted that mail" kind of scenario. In fact, I'm testing the setup right know with a list of all users. First run will take a while but further ones should only take a couple of minutes. Of course this setup is a workaround and it gets increasingly more difficult with the number of users, here we only have around 500 although many mailboxes are quite large.
