How to backup maildir

[Christoph Haas]

Hello Robert,

[... snip ...]

of course I'm totally with you: asking other people for help, is often  
a good - if even not the only way to getting things done. It was not  
my intention to insult you! I hope this did not come in to your mind ...

Personally I would have a look at the mentioned Dovecot-backup-script  
as a start. It does really a very good job! Cudos to Klaus Tachtler!

Another option could be, to sync your mail via mbsync/isync or  
offlineimap to your Notebook ... but as an alternative backup, it  
depends on how many users are on your Dovecot-server.

In a second cycle, you can then extend or modify this script - as I  
have been doing.

But you should bear in mind, that you should have at least 2-3  
replicas of your data on different storage, for having a good backup.

Cheers
Christoph.
