Change the way of your backup - a replication slave can be stopped and the whole data dir rsynced to different locations or media and so a restore is just rsync back
We have two instances on the backup host so that the replication can continue to run and on the other instance is even a hot dbmail imapd - that way rsync a specific backup to that db instance gives direct access to mails and tools like Imapsync -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Curtis Maurand <cur...@maurand.com> Gesendet: 04.

The restore process took an inordinate amount of time for an 8 GB (that was the size of the dump file) database (it took hours). Is there anyway to speed that up? are there dump options I should be looking at to make the restore go faster?
