Hi All,
I'm currently doing nightly full backups of /home. I'm not sure if a full back up is the best way to do backups. I know with my fileserver i do weekly full backup and daily incremental which would file on those type of files. I guess my question to the group is, how do you guys backup Maildir? whats the best way of doing it?
This is an interesting question, especially because it relates to mail!
I am a systems admin, but this is one area that I seriously flop in.
How do you backup e-mails for users when during the backup, they are
deleting the e-mails from the Maildir (POPping) and at the same, and
the SMTP server is also writing to it. This is very real on a busy
mail server.
So, how do people make backups of client's e-mails (Maildir)???
