I currently have all my email stored on a Dovecot IMAP server on my Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 server. I intend to upgrade this to Hardy using a total wipe, reformat and clean install (I have lots of crud on Dapper, such as Beryl, Automatix etc).
First I would like to back up everything on the IMAP server. How do I do this please? Then, how do I restore this to a clean install of Dovecot? Ideally I'd like to write a nice cron-able script that creates a .tar.gz file, but anything that works will do. For the longer term, how can I perform incremental Dovecot IMAP backups (say, only the last 7 days worth of mail)? If it makes a difference, I am the only IMAP user on the server. Couldn't find anything immediately relevant with Google, but links to RTFM-esque articles would much appreciated.
