Regarding data, the main things you want to back up are: /var/qmail/users /var/qmail/control /home/vpopmail/domains You do NOT want to copy /var/qmail/queue, as the queue's files are tied tied to inode numbers on the disk. There is a script available that can renumber the queue files, but in my experience, it didn't work and the queue was corrupted. Regards, Bill
