So my understanding of the backup procedures of cyrus imapd are,
(I am running on RHEL4 built in version of cyrus-imapd 2.2.12)
1) backup /var/spool/imap (or all the actual message stores, there are
no BerkleyDB's in here so they can be backed up normally?)
2) backup /var/lib/imap/sieve, /var/lib/imap/quota and
/var/lib/imap/user which are all non DB so they can too be backed up
normally.
3) berkleyDB dump
/var/lib/imap/{mailboxes.db|annotations.db|deliever.db} and get them
backed up.
4) what about /var/lib/imap/db directory? what is it doing exactly, i
can not find this directory in the docs?
Now when I restore, it is a bit fuzzy on this, I can just restore the
stuff from #1 in the same place as it existed before and then run
reconstruct?
What about restoring the rest? just db_load the DB files?
Thanks for any help.
