Migrating Cyrus across platforms
Hi all, I was wondering how easy it is to migrate Cyrus folders from one platform to another without having to copy all the folders via IMAP. I currently have a FreeBSD system running Cyrus 2.0.7 hooked up to Sendmail 8.11.0 and running with Sieve, and it works very nicely. Due to circumstances beyond my control, the box is to be decomissioned and replaced with a Linux server. I'd like to set up a clean install of 2.0.9 on the box, then move everything from the existing system onto the new one. Could somebody give me some tips as to how this can be done, or point out some documentation I can read on it? Is it as simple as tarring up /var/spool/imap and /usr/local/etc/imap and dropping them onto the new server? TIA! Cheers, D. smime.p7s
