Hi There, I know this has been discussed on the list off and on and i have searched and reviewed the list for these.. but i would just like to get peoples opinion of the best strategy to move forward with…
We have DBmail 2.2.17 running: 3 separate mail servers one for DBmail and two for MySQL in a master/slave environment. We provide IMAP mailboxes to our clients and have about 90-100GB worth of mail in the DB currently and stop the slave to mysqldump the database at night and start it again. This works fine from a backup data point of view, we have reasonable fast servers and a good SAN and backups work well…. Restores are another thing tho. 100GB just takes time to import! I have read some emails on the list about using LVM and taking snapshots… but have not used this before. Would this be a good path to look? I would like to have a quick way to recover our mail platform for our clients. Any feedback is very welcome!
