I finally have finished testing my backup and restore scripts. For the
attention deficient people, it's available here:

It's also available on my website (along with some other info):

For the rest of you, here's my ramblings:
I rewrote both scripts over the holidays. I didn't get as much time to
work on them as I wanted, but who cares.
The backup script was changed and streamlined a little more. Brent
Dacus had made a change to the script to fit his needs and sent me a
copy, so I incorporated his change into it. (He fixed the directory
listing when it sent you the email notification). I also fixed the
curl'ing option, so it now actually works. Enter your FTP info, turn
the option on, and every night (or whenever you run the script) it will
FTP the backup file to a different location for you. You might want to
take a peek at the file size before you implement this, though. My
backups are usually 900 Megs or more, and I'd hate to see someone try
and shove that across a ISDN (ha!) connection or something. Anyway,
Brent also wanted to delete the previous backup file when the script
ran, so I added an option for that, also. All of the options are set in
the top of the script, under the version comments. Everything should be
commented well enough for any changes you may need to make. Just let me
know what changes you made, and if they look like something other people
will want, I'll add them in.
The backup script was also streamlined. I removed a lot of the stuff
for older versions of Toaster, so be aware this is for new versions
only. I did leave the command to convert the old .qmail aliases to the
new database format, but it's commented out. Uncomment it if you need
this for some reason. The backup script ran great for me on a Cent 4.2
machine. I did a test (with a 10M backup) and it restored everything in
about 35 seconds on a 2.4 Intel with 512M of DDR.
There's more info/comments on my site (http://jakev.com/qmail/), and as
usual, if anyone has any comments/suggestions send me an email off-list.
