@code{nnml} is probably the slowest back end when it comes to article
splitting. It has to create lots of files, and it also generates
-@sc{nov} databases for the incoming mails. This makes it the fastest

though.)
-To archive an entire @code{nnml} or @code{nnfolder} server, take a
-recursive copy of the server directory. There is no need to shut down
-Gnus, so archiving may be invoked by @code{cron} or similar. You
-restore the data by restoring the directory tree, and adding a server
-definition pointing to that directory in Gnus. The @ref{Article
-Backlog}, @ref{Asynchronous Fetching} and other things might interfer

-restore the data.

-It is also possible to archive individual @code{nnml} or

might find it cheaper to return the full list of groups, rather than
just the new groups. But don't do this for back ends with many groups.
Normally, if the user creates the groups herself, there won't be too
