Hi, all: Hoping for a "reality check" from anyone on the list with experience in doing tape backups with cyrus-imap: I've got FBSD 5.2.1REL acting as a mail server running cyrus-imap and wondering what the best (read: safest) method of backing up user mailboxes to tape might be. Can I just dump/restore everything under /var/imap or is there more to it than this, considering the mailboxes are stored in cyrus db format? Does this matter when it comes time to restore? Thanks in advance for any feedback offered, especially warning on any gotchas born from experience :) EB
