If you don't want to backup actual mail, skip any folder called new/ cur/ or tmp/ under /home/vpopmail/domains/*. Skipping Maildir/ will also skip the imap or sqwebmail stuff, probably not what you want. This is pretty easy if you use rsync which will also minimise bandwidth and preserve permissions HTH -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com -----------------
