Am working on continous backup of mailboxes using rsync(for e.g by running rsync every 2 min) Things gets more complicated when users create Subfolders in INBOX , SENT , etc.. If anyone among you did that plz guide & advise.
I'm going to share what I've did. This is not rocket science but enough for my SOHO needs. Each user mail boxes are stored in ~HOME/mail/
# cat /opt/crontab-scripts/rsync-local-email-backup.sh [...] for i in /home/*/mail/ rsync -a --delete $i ${PATHTOSAFEPLACE}/$(date +%u)/${i}/ RETURNCODE=$? [...] done [...]
In clear, each day, I copy all mailboxes to a different (date +%u -> 0 to 6) safe sub-directory. I admit, it's very simple but enough for my needs and certainly could be improved..
Best regards,
