What I do: 1 - I ran a maildirlock command to my mail folder2 - I then rsync the folder where my maildirs are, as well as the indexes, to a remote location
3 - I tar.gz the daily backup 4 - I kill the maildirlock process
I also use replication of my server so that I keep getting mail when my main server isn't available.
As for postfix, I backup the database once a week, since it doesn't get changed that often.
Hope that helps! Best, Francis On 09.02.2020 18:26, Esteban L wrote:
Hello, Was thinking it would be wise to backup my server, in case anything "bad" ever happened, so that I could quickly get up to speed.1. clone the whole drive -- which might be the best to ensure I keep thewhole system working. 2. But, what about, if I just wanted to backup my Email server components? Postfix - which I think is just config files, and Dovecot - I think there is a doveadm backup for doing such things. What do you guys do, recommend for backups?? Thanks
