Re: Best practice to backup & restore cyrus imap data

[Nic Bernstein <nic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Apologies for jumping in so late, but why "move" users by copying
    files?  That's not a reliable method in the best of situations,
    since it doesn't move the meta-data, like indexes, etc.  I would
    suggest the Murder approach, or simply use imapsync or some similar
    tool.
