I've been doing some reading of the list archives, and have learned that my current backup process is not sufficient. I'm hoping to get some feedback on my new proposed process. I only have about 20 users, total mail store is under 300 MB. I can stop the services. I want to be able to recover from total disaster, and from user errors. For now, I will do a full backup nightly
I'm using RH9 and Simon Matter's RPMs. Here are the beginnings of a script that I hope to use: ####################################### postfix stop # Stop MTA etc/rc.d/init.d/cyrus-imapd stop # Stop Cyrus su cyrus -c "ctl_mboxlist -d" > mailboxes-`date '+%m%d%y'` # List mailboxes; file makes restore easier??? #Backup the following directories (I haven't decided on which tool yet): #/var/spool/imap #/var/lib/imap etc/rc.d/init.d/cyrus-imapd start # Start Cyrus postfix start #Start MTA ######################################## Will this be sufficient?
