Hi, For the last couple of month I have been using courier as an IMAP and webmail server, and I'm very pleased of it. Lately, I started to think: "gee, what will happen if my HD will crash... I will lose *everything*".
So, I decided that I want to backup my data. On first look, it seems very simple as I have only one user (me): All I need to do is make one tarball of my Maildir, and that should do the trick. But then, another thought crossed my mind: If the imapd/webmail daemons are running, maybe they access my files somehow? I know that in databases, when you backup using raw mode, you want to stop the database, make the backup, and then start the database again. Does backing up the Maildir of courier is a similar scenario?
