It's enough to backup your Dovecot configuration files (usually the

used).
You should also backup your mailboxes
Hello people,
Well, what the subjects says :-)
I have a dovecot/Horde installation and would like to know :

You're using system accounts so yes, but I'd hope that if server is on
any importance you would be doing more than just backing up that.

Firstly i plan to make it all on FreeBSD with UFS2 and use rsync, but
I never rsync such much of space and files.
