Are you usinf cyrus-imapd? Then a copy from /var/spool/imap is not enough!
cyrus holds a database with the mails in it, and if he will have a new
mail,
he looks in this db not in /var/spool/imap because it is NOT maildir like!
How can I backup that database? Or where is it held? Or... how can I save
the emails.
From the other example:
su - cyrus -c "/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d >
/usr/cyrus/dump/mboxdump_`date '+%Y-%m-%d'`"
this backups the cyrus users.
I am just wondering if it is more better to recreate the cyrus users from
the mysql database settings, or simply to restore also the cyrus user list
and also mysql database???

Hi,
Subject: [Web-cyradm] In case of HDD/System Crash - What to do???
Hi to all,
I was wondering, what is happening in case of system
failuire, for ex: if we loose all data from the HDD.
I backup-ed the mysql database, configuration files and
/var/spool/imap folder and /var/lib/sieve for the sieve scripts.
Now, my main question is: How to restore the saved emails,
and recreate the accounts from the existing database. Is
there a script or something that does this? For the emails
(/var/spool/imap folder) probably will work a simple copy,
but what about the email accounts??
Best regards,
Andy.

The accounts from web-cyradm you can import to the new db, and there are
all
your accounts back!
But the mails, i have no idea! Sorry.
Greets,
