Hello
What is the best way to backup email boxes in cyrus imap?
I have a number IMAP clients connected, and some of them share mail boxes.
Surely, everyone should be disconnected while the backup takes place.
Is it possible to do the following: -
Disconnect one user, or alternatively, lock write access to the mailbox.
Backup mail box
Enable write access from the user again.
Then do the same for each user.
Unless this locking takes place, I think there is a possibility of
corruption in the backup file.
The only other way, is to stop the email server entirely during the backup,
but I would prefer less drastic measures.
Currently, all my users use IMAP, and email is delivered from sendmail via
deliver.
Please help
James
