I think anyone who runs a large cyrus installation has written scripts and procedures on how to backup and restore cyrus mailboxes and servers. I've certainly written my share. However, a lot of this depends on your backup mechanism. How do you plan on backing up your cyrus mailboxes? Are you NAS/SAN snapshots? Tivoli? rsync-backup? You need to provide more details before we can help you. Restoring a mailbox is trivial. You just restore the entire mailbox to a subfolder called in the primary mailbox and then run reconstruct -r -f on the mailbox. That'll autodiscover the restored mailbox and provide the user with a way to get messages back. -- Huaqing Zheng Beer and Code Wrangler at Large ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
