Email backup and restore

[apinto]

tar the whole emails is not the right solution. Think more about a differential backup solution, as a lot of clients will keep their email in inbox and content is changing a lot. It's a big problem.

If you want only to mirror it daily think about using rsync, but again you won't be able to hold more than a copy.

I do agree with you Me.B, however for some simple servers with low email traffic this is just enough.

Ideally you should backup email via another IMAP server, that would be perfect
