Use whatever tool is used for the database you use. I use MySQL, so in  
my case that's mysqldump. Given the number of users, I wouldn't bother  
selecting what to backup and what not, just backup the whole horde  
database. This is easily automated in a cronjob. If you're using a  
different database, backup/restore utilities are usually part of it.
