RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Re; rsync question
rsync -avz IP OF System you want to connect
to:/home/vpopmail/domains/YOUR_DOMAIN.com/DIR_TO PULL
FROM/USER_ID/Maildir/new/
home/vpopmail/domains/YOUR_DOMAIN.com/USER_ID/Maildir/new
All one line of coarse. Works slicker that you know what. But I need to pull
an entire server. I may experiment with a script with multi line rsync for
each account on the server.
I'll have to set rsync to run as a daemon with a secrets file to bypass
typing the password every line.
You can also pull the cur directory and what ever other files you need by
changing the paths. And you can exclude files with rsync to. Coarse most of
you may already know that.
Anyway, thanks for the tip. I'll try and see what works.
Take Care

Anyway you get the idea. It goes all the way to D this way. Variable
number
of id's per directory.
The new qmail toaster structure puts every id in one directory.
Now the question is this. I'm thinking of use rsync to copy just the new
mail in the new folder from the old server to the new one.
I've gotten it to work if I use a one line command to do it. But I don't
want to have to do that for 200 accounts. PITA.
Can I not use a one liner to get rsync to pull everything from the old
servers new folders to the new servers new folder for each account?
Pulling my hair out.

I don't think I'd try to do it all in one command. I think I'd use the
find command as a driver for rsync, something like:
find /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com \
-name Maildir/new \
-exec rsync -avh {} destination \;
Or use find to identify each user, then rsync the user with the command
you have.
Don't beat your head on the wall. ;)
P.S. It would be nice to see what you have that works for one user.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Re; rsync question
Eric,
Would you put this in a script file to run? That's what I'm trying to do. No
luck as yet tho.
find /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com \ If I use this it scrolls the
entire domain structure by FAST by the way.
-name Maildir/new \ If I include this I get find:
-name/Maildir/new: unknown option
-exec rsync -avh {} destination \; Haven't tried this yet.
Any suggestions?
Joel
PS: If I/we get this to work I'll wiki it on the wiki
Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Re; rsync question
I have this in my cron daily.
#!/bin/sh
rsync -avz -e ssh -p 5150 --delete
root@192.168.2.80:/home/vpopmail/domains /home/*.*
This keeps the backup up to date. I have it setup with a ssh-key so no
login is required. It's on the LAN and behind a firewall.

find /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com \ If I use this it scrolls

That's because there's no -exec yet. It's doing the default action,
which is -print.
-name Maildir/new \ If I include this I get “find: -name/Maildir/new:
unknown option”
I don't think that would have worked, come to think of it. -name can
only specify a filename, not a directory/filename as I had it.
Basically, you want to use find to get a list of all of the new|cur
directories, then use the -exec option to run rsync on them. Using just
the default -print option initially to get the name part(s) right will
make things a little easier, as you have done.
How about something more like this:
find /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/*/Maildir/+(cur|new)
Does that get them all?
-exec rsync -avh {} destination \; Haven’t tried this yet.
Any suggestions?

Why the *.* at the end? I don't think that's doing much of anything for
you. It should be simply taking the domains directory and replicating it
to some location on the target.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Re; rsync question
Hello
There is an already made solution called snapback2 (based on rsync)
http://www.perusion.com/misc/Snapback2/
Either you use it as an incremental backup or just for a single backup
You can ssh in or simply do it local (by mounting the destination
machine into your qmail)

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Re; rsync question
I actually have the domains listed. I should have clarified that it's
actually.
#!/bin/sh
rsync -avz -e ssh -p 5150 --delete
root@192.168.2.80:/home/vpopmail/domains /home/maxwell/storage/laetitia
I meant for it to indicate the users directory.
