> rsync -avt --log-file=$log_file /home/vmail/ 10.0.0.x:/home/vmail
> I run it in a script for e,g every 1 min.
> By doing so if an email is deleted on the live server it still remain on the backup server.
> Then I give each mail file a retention period of n days so that it automatically gets deleted from the backup server.

I use a similar strategy, with a more relaxed synchronization. But instead of
setting an expire on backup system, I simply do a rsync --del every night.
