What a very cool app, question is where do I find said application? I'm running 2.0.10, is it available in the 2.0 version?

You can use dbmail-export to dump whole mailboxes. Very crude and basic, and easily extendable: currently: dbmail-export -u username -m mailboxname -o username/mailboxname.mbox consider: dbmail-export -u username -m 'clients/*' dbmail-export -u username -m '*' dbmail-export ... -d since 'start date' dbmail-export ... -d before 'end date' that would allow for useable and effective recovery policies, for example: 1 or more long term storage dumps per user, updated every month 1 short short term snapshot per user, per day for each day since the last long term dump -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ Dbmail mailing list Dbmail@dbmail.org https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
