Backing up Maildirs
2006-01-25 19:29:24
Hi,
I've recently gotten the appropriate holes cut in my firewall that allow
me to backup my mail server. The problem is that Maildirs don't seem to
want to be backed up... the backups fail, w/ hundreds of errors like
these in the logs:
?gtar:./home/vmail/fjcomm.com/V/foo.bar/new/1137800711.V805Iac017.zena.tonservices.com:
Warning: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
I tried googling for what exactly 'Cannot stat' means, but I didn't come
up w/ anything too conclusive. Anyway, why exactly should there be so
many hundreds of these erros (mostly confined to one or two users
mailboxes (but different users every night). If i don't back up the
Maildirs, that server backs up just fine. It doesn't seem like these
mailboxes should be changing *that* much overnight (maybe i'm wrong?).
Any suggestions appreciated,
Cameron Matheson
