2002-08-15 Thread Chris
I have just complete a move to qmail/sqwebmail/vpopmail and love it! Now I just need some final steps here. I understand back up and recovery for qmail but how do I go about backing up my virtual domains and restoring in case of disastor? Sorry this is so vague, simple links to helpful docs are

Chris, I've not got any experience of this so I may be missing something crucial but I would say that all you really need to worry about is backing up your /home/vpopmail directory. In the event of a disaster coming to pass, simply restore that directory. R. Chris said: > I have just complete a

Also you'll need your /var/qmail/control dir as well, as it houses rcpthosts, virtualdomains, and other required files. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Loren Jordan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 6:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Back up an

2002-08-15 Thread David
Hi all Just a bit of a question for the list. I have a setup that is working fine so far (vpopmail5.37), except for one thing. When I create a new account, I do it via a direct entry into the vpopmail table (using MySql backend), this works fine, the account exists, and the first time they log
