My bad -- thanks for the correction. I run cyrus and dovecot systems, and inadvertently checked this on a dovecost-based system before posting. On 09/12/2014 10:30 AM, Michel Blanc wrote: On 12/09/2014 17:20, Patrick Goetz wrote: Question: what's wrong with ps auxw | grep imap

Thanks for that explanation! I don't have time to read every email that comes to the cyrus list, and missed that one. One point of clarification: On 8/30/2014 2:49 PM, Nic Bernstein wrote: ctl_cyrusdb -c ctl_mboxlist -d mailboxes.db.dump stop cyrus lvm snaps

Re: backup rsync

There's something to be worried about with using lvm snapshots. My understanding is that this can dramatically slow down your system. I'm too busy right now to pull up a reference, but google is your friend. On 08/29/2014 09:27 AM, Marcus Schopen wrote: Hi, I'm planing to use lvm snaps

Replication and backups

Hi - I'm grappling with the issue of how to either do backups or take snapshots of a live cyrus system so that all the metadata is properly saved; meaning that the indexes and db files match exactly the messages in ~/cyrus/mail so that the backup or snapshot can be copied to a new system and

on Server 1. Step 4: Back up filesystem on Server 2. Step 5. Turn replication back on on Server 2. Cyrus would only have to be off for a few seconds on Server 1, and resynchronizing after the connection has been terminated for a couple of hours shouldn't be a problem, either. -- Patrick Goetz
