[Dovecot] Dsync and SIS
Hi all,
Just to clarify, if we back up a dovecot 2 server with SIS for attachments and ALT storage by rsyncing it (including the SIS and ALT storage) to a remote server when it's idle (or at least almost entirely so), and run dovecot on that machine, would it seem feasible to restore backups from that server by using dysnc - specifically for the scenario where someone accidentally deletes emails/folders etc.?
I've seen queries about SIS before but nothing specifically about this scenario.
Cheers
Alex

dsync over ssh should work for that, yes. (Locally if you use doveadm import it's going to use the same SIS storage unless you override the settings.)
