Hi Andy, What tool are you using to do your dumps every 30 min? I too am currious about 'just' recovering from an "inconsistent" database and not having to shutdown the imap server to get a good backup every night -- I'd like to use a dump too to get more frequent backups than 1x a day. --Jim --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
