[Dovecot] backup strategie - any ideas and tips

[Götz Reinicke]

Hi,

we run a dovecot mail-server with about 50GB of e-mail and at the moment 
users are responsebil for macking ther own backup of e-mails.

But I'd like to have also a backup of the mail, beckause not all users 
do ther backups ...

We use mbox-format-mailboxes.

Any ideas how to backup the mailboxes without stopping the server, doing 
a backup to disk/tape/...?

Thanks for any ideas ant tips!


Regards
