I use a cron job that use rsync (RsyncX for those command line  
challenged)
____________example:
#!/bin/sh
time_=`date '+%Y%m%d.%H%M%S'`
echo $time_ Mail copied > ~/Library/Mail/MoveLog.txt
rsync -a --delete -e "ssh -p 22" ~/Library/Mail imac:~/Library/
rsync -a --delete -e "ssh -p 22" ~/Library/Mail\ Downloads "imac:~/ 
Library/"
rsync -a --delete -e "ssh -p 22" ~/Library/Application\ Support/ 
AddressBook "imac:~/Library/Application\ Support/"
rsync -a --delete -e "ssh -p 22" ~/.gnupg imac:~/
rsync -a          -e "ssh -p 22" ~/Library/Preferences/ 
com.apple.mail.plist imac:~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist.pb
rsync -a --delete -e "ssh -p 22" ~/Library/Application\ Support/ 
SpamSieve "imac:~/Library/Application\ Support/"

Where iMac is the computer I'm backing up my eMail, etc... too. This  
leaves me with a "working" mail backup on my backup computer.

Note: I use rsa keys to handle my ssh logins.
