Re: [qmailtoaster] qtp-backup - ezmlm lists??

The folder has the name of the mailing list and all relevant content will be stored in special subfolders. So, backing up all domains will also backup ezmlm!

RE: [qmailtoaster] qtp-backup
I find it has been server-dependant (...age, load, amount of storage). My storage is about half of what you have, and I know it seems to take around :45mins. ...though the servers here are not new by any means (HP Proliant DL320 G3's). The process, if I remember correctly, makes the copy of the data by using a compression statement (tar/gz). It could be the compression that is taking a while (especially on older equipment). -Pat. From: Scott Hughes [mailto:sc...@renshawauto.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2011 11:24 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] qtp-backup I was just curious. I am testing qtp-backup to see how long it runs. I'm currently at 1 hour and 25 minutes and still going. Current directory (/backup/qmailbkup) size is 7.2 Gig (/home/vpopmail/domains is 16 Gig uncompressed). Is this normal? Am I running to correct/best/fastest backup script? My goal here is to put qtp-backup (or the best backup script) into a cron job that runs every night, then after waiting MORE than the amount of time it takes to run the qtp-backup script, rsync the backup file(s) over to a another server.

It appears that when we keep a few days worth of backups in our
/backup/qmailbkup directory, that the old backups are being included
when the script condenses all the individual backups into 1 file. How
would we modify the qtp-backup script so it only condenses down the
current backup information into one file and leaves the previous backups
alone?
We are setting up the server so the qtp-backup script runs each night
using our /etc/crontab file. Then we copy the backup file to an external
USB hard drive. We also have lines to delete out the backups that are
older than 3 days on the server itself and older than 14 days on the
external USB hard drive.
In case other people are interested in backing up to an external USB
Drive -- We do this with the following lines in our /etc/crontab file:
# backup the qmailtoaster data files including squirrelmail plugins
05 2 * * * root /usr/sbin/qtp-backup
# copy today's backup file to USB drive to the postofficeBkups directory
32 03 * * * root find /backup/qmailbkup/* -type f -name '*' -mtime -1
-exec cp {} /mnt/usbdrive/postofficeBkups/ \;
# delete local mail backups more than 3 days old
32 04 * * * root find /backup/qmailbkup/ -type f -cmin +4320 -exec rm -f
{} \;
# delete mail backups more than 14 days old (from time changed) on
external USB drive
01 05 * * * root find /mnt/usbdrive/postofficeBkups/ -type f -ctime 14
-exec rm -f {} \;
Sharon,
Rather than putting each command as a separate cron entry and having to
worry about timing, it would be a better practice to put all of the
commands in one script, then invoke the script with a single crontab
entry. The /usr/local/bin/mybackup script would look like this:
#!/bin/sh
# script to backup qmt, and manage backup files
#
# do the backup
qtp-backup
#
# copy today's backup file to USB drive to the postofficeBkups directory
find /backup/qmailbkup/* -type f -name '*' -mtime -1 \
-exec cp {} /mnt/usbdrive/postofficeBkups/ \;
#
# delete local mail backups more than 3 days old
find /backup/qmailbkup/ -type f -cmin +4320 \
-exec rm -f {} \;
#
# delete mail backups more than 14 days old (from time changed)
# on external USB drive
find /mnt/usbdrive/postofficeBkups/ -type f -ctime 14 \
-exec rm -f {} \;
exit 0
Then you can start the whole process with a single crontab entry:
05 2 * * * root /usr/local/bin/mybackup
and you don't need to worry about one step finishing before the next one
is executed.
Be sure that your script file's execute bits are turned on:
# chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mybackup
If the exact time of day isn't critical, you can alternatively put your
script in the /etc/cron.daily/ directory, and it will run every day at
4am, and you won't have to change the crontab file at all.
Hope that helps. (and thanks again!)

I also rsync the /home/vpopmail/domains directory. I've been thinking that I'd like to see some flexibility built in to qtp-backup.

I was also using it to upgrade systems to newer versions at the time and old tcp.smtp files would not work with the newer system, so I left them out. I figured the default would work fine for most applications, so did not include it.
