I prefer rsync of the entire MailRoot directory to another system, but
you could as easily rsync to an alternate media source on the same
system. By using rsync, you can run it often since rsync operates
incrementally (only the portions of files that have changed are
replicated). I run it ev
I always just tar up /var/MailRoot every night. I have had to restore
this file before because someone deleted a domain. It took me less than
5 minutes to have the domain back up and operational, no one knew that
anything had happened.

Hi Everyone
I have a question about backup servers...
At present i have my server working fine on one domain, however it only
has one dsl line, for redundency i want to add a backup server, just in
case of any network or power outage.
What methods are there of creating this backup server?
I
I have the same configuration Bill describe, and it works fine for me.
(Hint: be sure master DNS AND SECONDARY DNS for
'youdontneedtoknow.com.au´ are right.
Usually problems arise when you fix the real server and two differents
dns records are alive.)

file for each of the domains I want it to be secondary for.
The .tab file contains only one line:
"smtprelay" "primary-server"
I believe this will try to relay the mail to the primary server, every 5
mins or so, fo

I think the recommended way is to setup a custom domain and then use the
SMTP directive to cause it to deliver using DNS entries. Or use the
SMTPRELAY with the IP of the primary server.
