Would you share your experiences backing up cyrus mailboxes ?
What tool/s do you use ? how many backups a day do you run ?
We backup all the files on the server using TSM, incrementals nightly.
Server using delayed delete and delayed expunge.
Also use cyrus replication to a second server.
And we backup mailboxes.db to a text file once a day.
This is exactly what we do. Deleted and expunged messages are kept for
up to 2 days, but I'll likely extend this to avoid trips to `the wayback
machine.'' A surprising number of people don't notice they deleted
messages, or don't report it for a few days.
Forgot to mention that we keep deleted and expunged for 7 days. The more
disk space you have the longer you can keep them around for.
