Re: [ilugd] /var/spool/mail backup
Dear yogesh, i see so much mails and replies about backing up that /var/spool/mail directory. This directory contains all your users mails with individual user having individual files storing all their mails ... now you could have simply issued a tar -c mail > mail.tar from the /var/spool directory and then a gzip -9 mail.tar ,,, next time if yu go for a fresh install you could have just tar -xvzf mail.tar.gz inside that /var/spool directory , all the previous files would have been retained , if i am understanding correctly abt ur needs, All the best ,, Sohel yogesh anand wrote: > > Dear All, > > can anybody give me a good backup policy for backing > up my /var/spool/mail directory. > > __ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
