Re: how to back up mail boxes

Copy and paste *should* work, but to be safe, I'd say do an archive  
of the directory, then copy the archive to the other drive and  
uncompress it there.  This works for me, and it guarantees I get all  
hidden files and such.
I believe it uses zip by default, and this should work, but if you're  
really concerned about it, try using tar from the terminal, that will  
most definitely do the trick.
