The recent post on the best imap has made me ask the question, how do/should I move my Cyrus Imap files from one server to another. I'll need to be upgrading my suse 10.0 server to 10.3 soon, and I've never had to move my existing mail before. I haven't decided if I'll change boxes, or just do a new install on a different partition on the same box, but in any case will be a clean new install of 10.3 (assuming I can get my graphics issues worked out).
If the only server application is Cyrus then you might as well export the cyrus databases, make a clean install and then restore and import the cyrus databases. On the other hand, I just upgraded from 10.0 to 10.3, and the Cyrus/Postfix/Amavis/saslauthd combination was upgraded perfectly.
If I don't change boxes, I won't be able to have both installs running at the same time, so how do I move the files, or more specifically, which files do I move?
/etc/cyrus.conf /etc/imapd.conf /etc/sasl2/ /etc/pam.d/* (common*, login, imap, sieve, smtp) /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd /var/lib/imap (where the databases are) /var/lib/sieve (where the compiled sieve scripts are stored) /var/spool/imap (where the actual mailboxes are) /usr/lib/sasl2/ (cyrus sasl libs for authentication mechanisms) I think it is easier to update the installation. -- Sandy List replies only please!
