Dear everyone,
I got it taken care of. Just copied the maildir to a standard FAT drive.
I dont know why I was making it so complicated.
Thanks tho!
Appreciate it.

...unless your dovecot is working with compressed maildir files. ;-)
Kind Regards,
Hi Kevin,
if you use maildir, I bet there is not a single mail bigger than 100 MB.
So ALL mails are 40 GB, but may be hundreds and thousands small ones ...?
Or did you compress all files in one 40GB tar/gz/zip/... ?
So fat32 is good for small files.
BUT if you like to transfer as well e.g. DVD
Hi,
talking of rsync and compression is may be also a bit misleading.
On the destination there will be no compressed files if you transfer
with rsync! The transfere on the network by rsync might be compressed!

Dear Steve,
Very valuable info. Appreciate it and will be careful when using terms.
Actually I think I should just use rsync without compressing. The reason
why I started compressing was because the GUI gave some errors when I was
trying to copy then files.
I'll just rsync the data from my laptop

If you tried to *move* it it's an archive, not a backup. If you tried
to *copy* it, with the intent of keeping the or
Hi Felix,
I would prefer having one HDD that works with all three OSes. That
would be very convenient.
Guess exFAT is my best bet. Its supported on Linux,Win and OS X.
What do you reckon?

Dear Christian,
Thanks for your feedback.
The HDD will not accept larger than 4GB (as its in FAT format). Its a new
external HDD. Thinking of the best format(that would work with Mac , Win
and Linux) .seems like a challenge.
What's your view on NTFS? And why not exFAT?
Thanks
Kevin

Hello,
Yesterday I tried to back up a 40GB maildir .
I tried to move the maildir from home to external HDD but failed. Decided
then to compress it(which took several hours). Now changing the disk format
from FAT to exFAT to allow the transfer for the large compressed file.
