Hi all,
I'm using cyrus-imapd 3.0.8 and I'm trying to set up a rolling backup
over imap as csync is marked as obsolete.
According to the documentation I configured the servers this way:
master:
--%snip%--
# imapd.conf
sync_log: yes
sync_log_channels: backup
backup_sync_host: my.backupserver.local
backup_sync_port: imap
backup_sync_try_imap: yes
backup_sync_authname: cyrus
backup_sync_password: somepassword
backup_sync_repeat_interval: 1
--%snip%--
replica:
--%snip%--
# cyrus.conf
SERVICES {
imap cmd="imapd" listen="*:imap"
}
--%snip%--
Testing:
> $ echo ". logout" | nc my.backupserver.local 143
> * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE LOGINDISABLED AUTH=CRAM-MD5
> AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 SASL-IR] my.backupserver.local Cyrus IMAP 3.0.8-1.el7 RHEL
> server ready
> * BYE LOGOUT received
> . OK Completed
As far as I understood this should be sufficient to make sync_client use
imap in favor of csync. Unfortunately, sync_client isn't sending valid
imap commands to the server.

Now when I change "backup_sync_try_imap: yes" to "sync_try_imap: yes" it
seems to be working at first but then another connection opens and fails:

Am I missing something?
Best,
