Hi, I'm planing to use lvm snaps and rsync for a daily disaster recovery backup on my master cyrus (2.4.12 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS): ctl_cyrusdb -c ctl_mboxlist -d > mailboxes.db.dump stop cyrus lvm snaps start cyrus rsync /var/lib/cyrus/ and /var/spool/cyrus to backup host remove snaps Is there something to be aware with rsync especially with /var/spool/cyrus directories? Beside that the master is in master-slave replication too. In a case of disaster recovery - if you don't want to make the slave to the master - would it work out to rsync /var/lib/cyrus/ and /var/spool/cyrus from the slave to the master or is that not a good idea?
