Here is what I have setup in the crontab to run nightly. This, for me uses around 2 GB of extra space on my server, but I delete the file after I upload it to another server.
I have restored from this before and everyone has their email there and no one could tell that something happened to the server. #!/usr/bin/perl # use Net::FTP; ## Connect and login. `tar -czvf /usr/bin/MailRoot.tgz /var/MailRoot`; $ftp = Net::FTP->new("nameofserver", Debug => 0); $ftp->login("backup",'backup'); #username and password go here $ftp->binary(); $ftp->put("/usr/bin/MailRoot.tgz"); $ftp->quit; `rm -rf /usr/bin/MailRoot.tgz`; Thanks, chad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Cabezas Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 8:11 AM To: xmail@xmailserver.org Subject: [xmail] How to make a "copy of all" address ? Greetings, After a very strange crash in my mailserver, for which the weekly backup didn´t help much to recover the lost messages, I aask myself if is there any way to make a filter, or rule to make a copy of all the emails that are sent to my server to a "copy of all" backup address. Is there any way to achieve it with xmail? Thank you very much in advance for any help about it Ciao, -- Daniel . ------- daniel_at_seriousworks.net /Cabezas SeriousWorks Solutions, SCP ______/ Barcelona, Spain www: http://www.seriousworks.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
