I finally have finished testing my backup and restore scripts. For

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.
