Hello List, I have some questions concerning the backup of a cyrus imap server: Do you have any hints how to backup a Cyrus IMAP Server in general? I found two basic solutions, none of which seem perfect: a) stop the server, backup /var/lib/... AND THE CONFIG FILES, restart the server. b) make a snapshot of the filesystem (e.g. following the cyrus wiki) Solution b) seems a little much for a simple backup, but i don't want to stop my IMAP Server during the backup. So my questions are: Are there better solutions? There must be, hm? How long does Cyrus have to be down during backup? Do you have any experience? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Markus Feilner --------------------------- Bitte beachten Sie unsere neuen Adressdaten!
