Other than filesystem snapshots (if your underlying volume manager knows about it) i don't see some very usefull/efficient backuping tools for large mail spools. For example, i still rely only on raid mirrors :) which leaves me cold in case of rm -rf / (or some such) but safe in case a disk deceides to die. Puting all the mail spools in the RDBMS just for the ease of backuping ... i heard from the Oracle people that their DB is already 30% slower than plain fs and cyrus is already very i/o demanding ... i don't want to introduce another bottleneck. Altough, implementing all the little databases cyrus has (mailboxes, duplicate deliveries, ...) in some RDBMS might be usefull for large setups. Which still leaves the backuping problem intact ... -- Jure Pecar
