Thanks for your advice. I found; # find / -name squirrelmail -type d /usr/local/squirrelmail /var/local/squirrelmail /etc/squirrelmail * end * # ls /usr/local/squirrelmail/www/[code] AUTHORS configure doc include plugins src ChangeLog contrib functions index.php po themes class COPYING help INSTALL README UPGRADE config data images locale ReleaseNotes I suppose to backup "/usr/local/squirrelmail/www/" here. It includes plugins. # ls /etc/squirrelmail/ apache.conf config_local.php default_pref index.php config_default.php config.php filters_setup.php sqspell_config.php Also backup "etc/squirrelmail/" which includes config and pref files. If I'm wrong please correct me. TIA > If you want > to > be extra safe, you could also back up the data directory (or database > if you put prefs there). Once you confirm the upgrade worked, you > probably don't need your backup of the old source code. /usr/local/squirrelmail/data is only an empty directory All users' mails are on /home/userX directories. I can backup /home directory. Advice would be appreciated. TIA B.R.
