If you copy files, will there be duplicate deliveries when the A
server comes back up? Consider moving files instead.
You can't copy or move queue files while Postfix A or B is running.
After copying/moving queue files, run the "postsuper" command on
Postfix 'B' until it stops logging that it is renaming files.
