With what you've contributed already, I don't think we've run out of the

Easy enough typo to make - x and c are adjacent on a QWERTY keyboard,
after all.

tar -cvzf mailbackup.tar.gz /home/vpopmail /var/qmail

(I've not tried it yet, but z looks like it might be useful:

Shouldn't that be "tar -c /home/vpopmail /var/qmail > mailbackup.tar" (or 
something like that) to make a back up file?

With the default locations of vpopmail and qmail, it's really easy.

tar -xvzf mailbackup.tgz /home/vpopmail /var/qmail

If you use mysql or some other auth module, make sure you back that up too
(like a mysqldump).

Hi
 
Isn´t it possible to back up mail, userdirs, 
and password with qmail ?? I would use gz to pack those files to external 
disks.
