rsync As often as you want (we perform between 1 and 24 snapshots per day, depending on the server). Expect someone to want x message(s) restored that he/she accidentally deleted. If you don't use delayed expunge/delete, you'll probably want to retain a week's worth of daily backups for such events. Delayed delete/expunge serves this task better than frequent backups, but has the consequence of needing a lot more production storage - which is usually more expensive than backup storage. --Blake -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Backing up mailboxes From: Diego Ventrice <fordcarnut@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, June 08, 2011 11:48:38 PM > I'm planning a backup strategy for a new server that will handle > Hundreds of mailboxes.
