On further thought, it seems like this would be a solution: ---------- ---------- | Server 1 | ---DRBD--> | Server 2 | ---------- ---------- Step 1: Stop cyrus on Server 1. Step 2: Turn off replication on Server 2. Step 3: Restart cyrus on Server 1. Step 4: Back up filesystem on Server 2. Step 5. Turn replication back on on Server 2. Cyrus would only have to be off for a few seconds on Server 1, and resynchronizing after the connection has been terminated for a couple of hours shouldn't be a problem, either. -- Patrick Goetz ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
