We have used Norton Ghost 2003 with success on our RedHat 7.3 server which has ext3 filesystem support.
If you do a partition to partition copy, you can even transfer your whole system to a larger disk. Approx. downtime is about 1 hour to make the "ghost". When you boot up your system again whith the new disk, it runs as nothing had happened :-) And you can set up a daily cronjob or something that copies your .db files from your mailstore to another server/computer by ftp or something. That should be sufficient - at least if your major users are "pop3" users and if there's not too many of them :-) Regards bryntez ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Lederer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 5:13 PM Subject: Re: Best way to backup cyrus system > As another newbie, I was sure hoping someone would share their > experience here. :) > > > I would add to Boris' question what the best way would be to create poor > man's redundancy.
