[Dovecot] maildir backup
Hi everybody, I'm trying to backup a dovecot instance, and i'm looking for a method to "snapshot" dovecot maildir in a properly way, and backup whole snapshot in a second step (tar). I read about dsync, end, if i'm not going wrong, it dumps correctly also dovecot indexes; is it the tool i need? Thank you for any hint. Ramon

You could use dsync Replication (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication) to another server. Then, you already have a real time backup!
If you need a consistent backup instance, I guess you could stop the mirror server for a while to tar your mail directory.
Someone else may confirm whether the above process is right indeed and/or suggest other options.
All the best, Nick

or you can use rsync for that ... get your slave server to rsync from the master one and, after rsync is finished, you can tar the folders and have a perfectly valid snapshot of your Maildirs !
