This exception occurs, if the certificate of the SSL cannot be trusted (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1201048/allowing-java-to-use-an-untrusted-certificate-for-ssl-https-connection/1201102#1201102). As a workaround we could accept all certificates, but I am not sure if we really want to do that.
I've just backed up a gmail account which uses SSL and it worked just fine. The settings are the following:
MAIL_SETTINGS = { "SSL" : True, "Port" : 993, "Host" : "imap.gmail.com", "Username" : "backmeup100@gmail.com", "Password" : "**", "Type" : "imap" }
Which service are you trying to back up? Maybe we can determine if their certificate can be trusted or not.

I think he has tried to create an Backup from our Mailserver. https://mail.x-net.at/
This Certificate is self signed. I think we have to acept every certificate here. There are many mailservers out there with self signed certificates. But this will open the door for man in the middle attacks :/
