I think this is a misconception. While Akonadi runs a private MySQL
server instance, it does not do so with PostgreSQL. Instead, it just
creates its own database that is served by the single, system-wide
PostgreSQL server instance. In other words, your data will be stored
somewhere below /var/lib/postgresql.
As far as backups go, are you sure you even need to backup the Akonadi
database? Is there anything in the database that won't be recreated from
its original source? If your contacts are stored in one or many vCard
files and your calendar is in an iCal/ics file, I don't think you'll
lose anything when you just switch to PostgreSQL. But don't take my word
for it -- and make backups!
