Seems kind of OT for this list, but since nobody else seems to object... Two questions: Does it need to be remote, and why just the mail spool? Why not the entire machine? I'm currently backing up my machine at home to a WD "My Passport" USB drive, doing a monthly full and nightly differential, using a script that employs rsync. Each backup set looks like a full backup. Works like a champ. I'm going to use the same script on the new mailserver I'm building at work. I have two drives, which I swap once-a-month. The out-of-service drive goes in the safe. At work I'll probably do three or four, with at least one in the bank safety deposit vault.
