I have a Cyrus + Postfix installation and I would like to
backup (tar and copy on DVD) a single users mail box (who gets always_bcc = mailbackup).
This would be a daily backup sort of thing. Once I backup these files I would
like to delete them with a cron job. Could you please help / guide me how to do this. I have main
concern to know what are the files and folders to be copies for backing up this
user’s mail box. Is it just the /var/spool/imap/m/user/mailbackup/* or any
other files Also can I copy these files back to the same folder and read
this mail with a web client? (for example if some one wants a mail on
2006-Feb-20th, I copy the files after untaring that days backup and
move them to var/spool/imap/m/user/mailbackup and use a web mail program to
read it?. is this possible.? Has anyone done something like this before? Is there any
better way to backup a single mailbox in Cyrus? Look forward to receive some answers and comments! Thanks Rajeev |
