Re: Simple backup of maildir folder

My questions are: - How much to I need to configure this new server? Do I need to setup user by user, or even install postfix (that's where my users are configured) to get it all backed up? I tried to install dovecot and running doveadm backup, but it complains the users are not there. -

auth_policy_server vs client_id and x-originating-ip
