Re: backup mail server

[Lee]

We use drbd (http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/reisner/drbd/) and linux-ha's (http://www.linux-ha.org/) heartbeat to create two-box mailstores (one active, one hotspare, continuously in-sync). Works beautifully.

I have a small cyrus setup that only a few users use but I want to setup
some kind of live backup system for it. I would really just like to
have two cyrus servers that keep the same mail boxes on them so if one
fails (hardware, software crash, smurfs, etc...) the other will have a
back up the mail and continue to receive mail. I was reading up on the
murder stuff for cyrus but am not sure if it is what I want and if I
have the spare systems to support everything. If anyone could point me
in the right direction it would be great.

Maintaining a hot spare machine _might_ be possible by using the NNTP
support in Cyrus 2.2, since this is what NNTP does, but nothing has been
done on this front.
