Would it be possible to reduce the size of files generated? Perhaps by splitting them into smaller files.

As a home user with a not very fast upload (~10Mb/s) it takes a very long time to transfer files to my cloud backup provider.

What files are you referring to - backup files? Or profile data? (You shouldn't have your profile data on a cloud device)

It's the main files that store all the emails. My profile data is on my personal PC, but I back up my PC to a cloud backup service. Because the email store files are so big (Gigabytes!) it takes a while to upload at 1MB/sec. If the email store files were broken into smaller segments (100MB is a nice size) and new ones added as each reached it's maximum size, then my backups would only need to upload the newest file.
