Hi, Here is your info:
To subscribe to cyrus user listgo to go to https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus A brief summary below is about backup restore procedures: 1) Make a dump of all mailboxes to the text file: su - cyrus -c "ctl_mboxlist -d" > /var/lib/imap/mailboxlist.txt And restore it with: su - cyrus -c "ctl_mboxlist -u" < /var/lib/imap/mailboxlist.txt 2) Make a regular backups (in my case with DSM client) of /var/spool/imap/ and /var/lib/imap/, without stopping cyrus, in this case I endanger myself in some data inconsistency and maybe some e-mails lost (which were in process while backup was running). 3) In case of disaster I can just copy mail directly from the backup to the mail store directory (/var/spool/imap/user/%username%), And run: /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -rf user/username 4) All quotas (in /var/lib/imap/quota/%firstletter of username%/)will not be reconstructed, so I'll need to do it manually. 5) All subscription and seen info (in /var/lib/imap/user/%firstletter of username%/) will not be reconstructed, but I could restore it from the regular backup.
