I have some questions for those of you gurus who truly know the cyrus
system.
I have a XSAN Mac cluster and we are running mail on it. Cyrus 2.2.12
if I remember correctly.
Anyways, the questions are these:
(1) To back up the cyrus database, we shut down the mail server and back
up the database and then restart the mail server. To restore the
database, we save the seen files and we copy over a backup copy of the
database.
So the question is, is this the right way to backup and restore the
database? Is putting an old database in place going to break anything?
(2) What is in the mailboxes.db? Is it the list of mailboxes for
everyone on the server?
(3) After restoring should we always kick off a "reconstruct"?
Thank you
David
