Hello
There is an already made solution called snapback2 (based on rsync)
http://www.perusion.com/misc/Snapback2/

Either you use it as an incremental backup or just for a single backup
You can ssh in or simply do it local (by mounting the destination machine into your qmail)

Eric,

Would you put this in a script file to run? That’s what I’m trying to
do. No luck as yet tho.

find /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com \ << If I use this it scrolls
the entire domain structure by “FAST” by the way.

That's because there's no -exec yet. It's doing the default action, which is -print.

-name Maildir/new \ << If I include this I get “find: -name/Maildir/new:
unknown option”

I don't think that would have worked, come to think of it. -name can only specify a filename, not a directory/filename as I had it.

Basically, you want to use find to get a list of all of the new|cur directories, then use the -exec option to run rsync on them. Using just the default -print option initially to get the name part(s) right will make things a little easier, as you have done.

How about something more like this:
find /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/*/Maildir/+(cur|new)
Does that get them all?

-exec rsync -avh {} <destination> \; << Haven’t tried this yet.

Any suggestions?

Joel

PS: If I/we get this to work I’ll wiki it on the wiki


You mean when, not if. ;)
