Hi all,
I've scoured the web, faq and mailing list archives to try and find an answer to this problem I'm having, but to no avail....
I'm trying to rsync a Cyrus IMAP message store "structure" from one system to another. (I say "structure" because I don't want to copy over the actual messages in the message store.) For those of you unfamiliar with the structure of Cyrus message stores, they are basically hierarchical with each mailbox being a directory ("sub-mailboxes" being sub-directories etc.) and each message being a file. In addition, each mailbox has a number of control files.
I can derive the list of files and directories I want to rsync from the Cyrus "mailboxes" file and this seems to me to be the most efficient way of tackling this.
So, having got my list of files, I then rsync using a command of the form...
rsync -q -u -W -a -e /usr/local/bin/ssh --delete --files-from=tmp /temp2 /mnt2/sms/mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cyrus/backups/spo-ms
This is working well for me, except for the "--delete" bit. (When mailboxes are deleted on the source system I obviously want this reflected on the target.) Try as I might, I can't seem to get this to work.
Here's an extract from my --files-from file...
/c/user/ccxxx/cyrus.seen /c/user/ccxxx/cyrus.cache /c/user/ccxxx/cyrus.index /c/user/ccxxx/cyrus.header /c/user/ccxxx/Bris-Lists/cyrus.seen /c/user/ccxxx/Bris-Lists/cyrus.cache /c/user/ccxxx/Bris-Lists/cyrus.index /c/user/ccxxx/Bris-Lists/cyrus.header /c/user/ccxxx/Bris-Lists/bris-cuc/cyrus.seen /c/user/ccxxx/Bris-Lists/bris-cuc/cyrus.cache /c/user/ccxxx/Bris-Lists/bris-cuc/cyrus.index /c/user/ccxxx/Bris-Lists/bris-cuc/cyrus.header
...in case that's useful.
Does anyone know where I'm going wrong here?
