Re: [Mailman-Users] Configuration back to to ascii config file?
So then: Are the command line scripts the best way to create a duplicate set of configurations, mailing list lists, and list members on another mailman running on another server, or is it possible (and preferable) to figure out which mailman files should be copied over to the second server to create the duplicate settings, lists, and members? If I were automating this process would I rsync the specific files, or write a cron script to run the various python scripts, send them over to the other server and then have the other server run a cron script to import the settings, lists and members Thanks, Jeff Mark Sapiro wrote: Mauricio Tavares wrote: Let's see if I make sense.

This is a different question. The original question was how to transfer the settings from one list to another. Your question, is if I understand, how best to back up a Mailman installation on another server. >If I were automating this process would I rsync the specific files, or >write a cron script to run the various python scripts, send them over to >the other server and then have the other server run a cron script to >import the settings, lists and members I'm not sure of the best way to do this. You could just sync the files in the lists/ and archives/ directories. This may be sufficient, but you may also want to consider qfiles/ -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Thanks! I did not know it could go both ways.
