Hi, I was wondering what the best way to backup /var/mail is.
Currently I make a tar of it and save the tar on a different HD.  The only
problem I have is that if you finger a user, it says they last checked
their email at the time the tar tar'ed their mailbox.

Any idea how to fix this problem?  I'd rather have finger report the
proper time.

Thanks,
Michael
