You can backup an index by copying it in the Finder. It is stored by default in {home}/Library/FoxTrot (or FoxTrot Server). To access this hidden Library folder, use the "Go" menu in the Finder while pressing the shift key (or command-shift-L shortcut).
It is preferable to stop the index in FoxTrot before backing it up.

"Super fast indexing that will find anything anywhere in the database,
attractive output even with plain text (much better than Mail.app or
Thunderbird), fast synching to IMAP server, easy spellcheck integration,
many AppleScript options, numerous mail handling features, very
intuitive and configurable process control."
