Dear yogesh,
i see so much mails and replies about backing up that /var/spool/mail
directory. This directory contains all your users mails with individual
user having individual files storing all their mails ... now you could
have simply issued a tar -c mail > mail.tar from the /var/spool
directory and then a gzip -9 mail.tar ,,, next time if yu go for a
fresh install you could have just tar -xvzf mail.tar.gz inside that
/var/spool directory , all the previous files would have been retained ,
if i am understanding correctly abt ur needs,
All the best ,, Sohel
