If you are loking for a zero downtime setup, where the backup machine is already running put it up on the network ( probably with a lower priority MX or behind a loadbalancer) If you want just to backup to save your a** in case of a crash You can install the packages using yum ( or anything alike ) within 10 minutes after the OS install. You could create your own repo on a CD too Just schedule a regular backup of all your cf files ( typically /etc/mail/spamassassin /usr/share/spamassassin crontabs et all) And have a *tested* script ready that will pickup from the backup area and restore Thanks Ram
