Hi,

a question....

Would it be possible to use backuppc to suck mail directly out of imap, say for instance with the perl module IMAP::Client? (granted you would need to know usernames and passwords to login to the imap store)

I know that in most cases this can be done at a filesystem level (e.g. Maildirs - cyrus imap) with rsync direct, but what if you use something like Scalix which uses a "database like" indexed structure, with 1 giant data directory, and no easy way to discern which files belong to which user. If you could pull data out via imap then you have a "true" "bricks level recovery" strategy.

Is it possible? has anyone done it?

TIA,

Regards,

Les
