[xmail] Re: Backup

[Jeff Buehler]

I prefer rsync of the entire MailRoot directory to another system, but 
you could as easily rsync to an alternate media source on the same 
system.  By using rsync, you can run it often since rsync operates 
incrementally (only the portions of files that have changed are 
replicated).  I run it every 5 minutes staggered to two different 
systems, so changes are up to date about every 2.5 minutes.  In order to 
do a restore you can simply rsync in the reverse direction, which might 
take 10 seconds or less to complete.  This method can also be used for 
primitive but effective failover to alternate systems.
