Dear yogesh,
i see so much mails and replies about backing up that /var/spool/mail
directory. This directory contains all your users mails with individual
user having individual files storing all their mails ... now you could
have simply issued a tar -c mail > mail.tar from the /var/spool
direct
please list you requirement in detail
