Re: qmail vpop restore backup problem

[Are Haugsdal]

Hi   How may I back up user accounts made in qmail, when /home/vpopmail tar backup isn�t enough ??   Regards --- I have backup of all e-mailadresses for domain in /home/vpopmail/domain (basically everything in home-dirs), but qmail is installed in /var/qmail (I do not have backup of /var/qmail).   Unforunately, due to disk problems I have to recreate all emailadresses that users have created, in addition to default emailadress for each acount/domain.   Is there ANY hope so I do not need to recreate all this accounts manually ?   My steps to solve this (I thought...) : 1. Recreated /home/vpopmail/domain/userdomain (with subdirs) 2. Set permission to qmail and the chk__ (don�t remember the group correctly, but is the same that was earlier). 3. Move userdir somewhere else temorary, until I have added their default account, and copied the userdomain dir back. 4. I see that all created emailadress is viewable from qmailadmin. 5. When I check mail, I get "Authorization failed" on all those accounts that I got from backup, while postmaster account I created works fine.   I see that passwordfile for each domain in /home/vpopmail/domains contains set password and users.   Regards, Are Haugsdal
