Hello all! After reading some of the past threads on backups, I was wondering
if I could get a sanity check... I run a Maildir configuration for a small (10
mailboxes) mail server. Using "doveadm backup", for each mailbox I do:
- Weekly full backups and then copy the files to a network-based filesystem.-
Daily incremental backups and then copy the files to a network-based filesystem.
My recovery assumption is that in case of hardware failure, I would re-set up
the mail service and for each mailbox I will recover at the right directory the
latest full mailbox backup and on top of it, each incremental backup to the
latest day. Does this sound like a sound strategy?
Also, I was thinking of setting up a second dovecot server on another server
and replicating my primary on an hourly basis to decrease recovery time. But I
looked at mbsync and it seems to require mailbox login/password for each
mailbox (which I don't have). Is there an alternative?
Thank you!
