So we simply set our backups to run against the mail@yesterday path. A locally-written script managing the snapshot process rolls @yesterday into a date-coded format e.g. mail@20100214 before doing the new @yesterday snapshot. It also destroys the 15th snapshot. The snapshot path is a "real" filesystem that is traversible it's just read-only. So other backup solutions like Amanda, star, etc. should work fine. I expect everything except ufsdump should work fine and really, doing backups on a hot filesystem with as much activity as Cyrus seems pretty iffy anyhow. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
