The csync backup replication already works fine (well, apart from the error messages mentioned in my other email). I just wanted to try out the "sync_try_imap" option because csync was described as deprecated / outdated in the documentation. > (If you use the imapd service, you will just have a normal replica, > and messages will be deleted in the usual way when the deletion > replicates. Great as a hot spare, useless as a backup!) So, basically it's: - setting up a common replication: use imap in favour of csync because the latter is getting obsolete - setting up a backup replication: use backupd w/csync ? Probably I mixed up the replication types and thought of the backup as a common replication with "extras". Best, Philippe
