<p dir="auto">I was going to suggest leaving out the index (the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Database.noindex</code> folder) since that doesn't behave well with Time Machine. I don't think the other files should cause any problems and it's a lot more important to have a backup of your settings files and the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Messages</code> folder. You can also leave out the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Attachments</code> folder since it's just a cache.</p>
