Greetings all,
We have been running Cyrus 2.3.7, as packaged by Red Hat
(cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-2.el5) for some time, and we're upgrading to 2.3.16
(cyrus-imapd-2.3.16-8, thanks Simon) to support replication. We will be
deploying new servers for 2.3.16, not upgrading the existing servers. In the
past, we have simply rsync'd /var/spool/imap and /var/lib/imap to the new
servers, but this doesn't seem like a good idea when dealing with different
versions and packagings.
Which files, directories, and databases do I need to copy to the new
servers? Am I correct in assuming that we will need to recover the databases
and mailboxes to make them compatible with the newer version?
Thank you in advance. I apologize if this is a basic question -- I
don't have a lot of operational experience with Cyrus, and have not been able
to find specific instructions in the documentation, wiki, or mailing list.
Links to anything I missed would also be appreciated.
Best regards,
John
