postmaster password should be it says This Domain has no postmaster 
also some of other accounts are missing.
 I am not sure but this looks like it could be a file indexing issue 
when coping large directories.
I am digging deeper an reviewing the logs looking at the health of the 
drive as well.

I am all ears to any suggestions on help for a fix.
 If I can just get a good backup I can blow the old one away and replace 
the drives.

I haven't looked at that script for quite a while.

Given the symptoms you're describing, I'd look in the direction of 
MySQL. That's where the account information is stored. Might there be a 
table that needs reindexing before (or after) doing the backup?


I presume that the postmaster accounts do exist in 
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain/ ?

Yes, thats just it the database seems fine. All accounts intact. It is 
the /home/vpopmail/domains/domains/ that are missing the accounts.
 Looks like I have a failing drive.. I really need to get a good 
backup. I can tar the /home/vpopmail/domains manually and that seems to 
work but if I can avoid it I would like to have the qtp-backup script do 
the whole thing.. Call me lazy :)
