I run a small email server for me and the missus. Six dovecot users.
Our host is migrating our server instance. They usually (99.9999% lol) go off without a hitch.
As we don't have dovecot running elsewhere, I'm assuming doveadm is the wrong tool.
If we want to make a one-off backup prior to the migration, is shutting down postfix and running tar czf mailstorage.tgz /path/to/mail okay?
Thanks.
You can.
