Hello Davis See http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/Backup for some hints.
Regards, Martin 2006/10/19, David Korpiewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have some questions for those of you gurus who truly know the cyrus system. I have a XSAN Mac cluster and we are running mail on it. Cyrus 2.2.12 if I remember correctly. Anyways, the questions are these: (1) To back up the cyrus database, we shut down the mail server and back up the database and then restart the mail server. To restore the database, we save the seen files and we copy over a backup copy of the database. So the question is, is this the right way to backup and restore the database? Is putting an old database in place going to break anything? (2) What is in the mailboxes.db? Is it the list of mailboxes for everyone on the server? (3) After restoring should we always kick off a "reconstruct"?
