Hi, I'm no Bill Shupp (joking, hehe) but here are my thoughts:
> But sometimes (it seems to be allways) i get message from tar (tar: > domain/trash/Maildir/new: file changed as we read it) If the directory has mtime different it means that tar will only read the files it has on its list: - if files were deleted, they will cause warning and move on - if files were added, they will be omitted - if files were changed, they will be stored as they are now The same applies to a single file. > it seems that are messages which are directly delivered (not over > qmail) because when is message delivered over qmail - i got deferral: > Home_directory_is_sticky:_user_is_editing_his_.qmail_file._(#4.2.1)/. You shouldn't worry I think, the mail will be eventually sent. It's not a permanent error. On the other hand I am using rsync to backup in a script called nightly: # time rsync -avb --delete --delete-excluded /home/vpopmail/ /nas/vpopmail 2>&1 | mail -s "DUMP VPOPMAIL" [EMAIL PROTECTED] The command rsyncs my whole /home/vpopmail to mounted NAS on /nas; It redirects output and sends an email to me when it's done. It also deletes files in the destination that are not present in the source. > Lampa Best Regards, Maciej Soltysiak
