Hello all.
I read al this tread and still wondering - what FS best to use to manage up to 1,5Tb of maildir spool and make a near to real time back up of it?
Firstly i plan to make it all on FreeBSD with UFS2 and use rsync, but I never rsync such much of space and files.
If using solaris best is ZFS - but i don`t have any experience on this OS.
What Linux can provide for this task?
Hi, i use maildir format, its no problem to backup big maildirs with rsync, at backup i see no "real" relation with with filessystem until you use a modern one ( i.e. ext3... ), perhaps you might use nfs or gfs for redundancy solutions after all this type of backing up ( tar , rsync, i.e by cron ) is only a snapshot ( maybe ok on your side ), but i.e you may use always_bcc i.e with postfix or imapsync etc choosing zfs maybe is the right choice anyway i ve read much good about it, but i dont see what it might helpfull at backup
Best Regards
