Did you back up Sent folders too?

A long time ago for a much older version of Cyrus, we hacked lmtpd (I think, 
it’s been years) to log the messages as it wrote them down. Then we just 
processed the log every hour or so to backup only those files. That saved 
having to traverse the entire in ode tree most of the time.

No, no - we do replication.  Replication rocks.

You could easily stop the replica and take a snapshot of that, but our real 
backup solution is much more evil.  I've posted it to this list before, but 
it's basically a perl daemon which knows far too much about how Cyrus locks its 
data files.  It actually reads and parses cyrus.index files to work out what it 
needs to do.

Thanks for your feedbeek. What's your workaround for not stopping cyrus

before taking a lvm snapshot and run rsnapshot?



Ciao
