I would like to do incremental backups of the users' maildir directories to a dedicated backup host (using "rsync -SHa" and rsnapshot).
dont use it.
use rsync -b option. It is MUCH MUCH BETTER.
i use it regularly.
I will try.
Split your rsync session if you have huge amount of users or rsync would be taking enormous amount of RAM and have larger chance to fail.
Problem is: Dovecot bloats the incremental backup by changing the file names again and again.
I didn't observe that except when moving from "new" to "cur"
but --detect-renamed fixes it.
This did not work:
# rsync -SHa --detect-renamed /etc/motd /var/tmp rsync: --detect-renamed: unknown option
I am using rsync version 3.0.9, but AFAICS there is no such option on the cvs HEAD either.
Many thanx
