Hello David I'm interessted about your backup concept. In next few weeks I will also bring up a replica (to our single cyrus imad). How you take "diffs". You can point me to right direction? 2006/6/6, David Korpiewski <davidk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:

The greatest fear here is losing any new email. So we came up with a concept of having a master, an "active replica" (which will take over from the master if the master dies), and a "silent replica". When the master goes away, the "Active replica" becomes our primary mail server, the "silent replica" just sits there and does nothing. When we bring the master back up we make sure cyrus is turned off. Then we do a full mailstore diff on the original master and the silent replica. This will give us a list of the email that was not propagated when the master went down. This diff should be showing us the email that is not on the current mail server based on the assumption that the two replicas were being updated at the same time. Then we just find a way to send over that email and we should be all set. This is technically easier than trying to reconstruct from the logs what was not propagated, especially since I've found the log files to be not very informative even in verbose mode. -David -- -------------------------------------------------------- David Korpiewski Phone: 413-545-4319 Software Specialist I Fax: 413-577-2285 Department of Computer Science ICQ: 7565766 University of Massachusetts Amherst -------------------------------------------------------- ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
