You mean the $db_home directory? These databases are only used for monitoring health and performance (statistics counters) of amavisd instance, and for a cache of recent check results. On startup amavisd deletes databases in this directory and starts from scratch. There is no point in copying these files around to a different host. > -) Can there be any concistency if I just copy it, or do I have > to shut amavis-new down? There is alway a consistency issue when copying database files without first shutting down clients.
