Hi, I'm thinking about a strategy to keep my cyrus server (2.2.13 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) in sync with a cold standby server. This hasn't to be a live/hot sync and I'd like to keep it as simple as possible. A sync delay up to 30 minutes is acceptable for this small setup (250 Accounts, 80 GB mail storage, 5 emails per minute), but I don't want to stop cyrus while doing the snyc. Cyrus replication seems to be the most reasonable way, but I'm sitting on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, which comes with cyrus 2.2.13 and I can't find any newer backports. Centos 6.x with Cyrus 2.3.16 could be an alternative setup, but I'm not sure if 2.3.16 is also to old for stable replication. :/ DRBD could be an option but I never had DRBD running within a parallels virtualisation (bare metal setup); might be a timing/performance problem with a lot of very small files? Do I run in bad problems if I just run a simple rsync of /var/lib/cyrus, /var/spool/cyrus/ and /var/spool/sieve/ and dump mailboxes.db (skiplist) with "ctl_mboxlist -d" every 30 minutes? Is there a way give cyrus a flush of its databases without stopping it?
