Hi,
I am trying to come up with a better way to back up my Scalix mail
server. Scalix has a couple of suggestions for backing up.
Current solution:
- shut down mail server (in ClientRunBeforeJob)
- back up all files in the mail store directory
- restart mail server (in Client Run After Job)
This is easy but incurs an unacceptable mail serve downtime.
Also, it only allows for a full-server restore. I would like to have a
solution that allows restoring individual mailboxes, individual folders
or, ideally, individual emails.
A better approach would be to export all mailboxes to files (one per
mailbox), and then back up those files - but I don't have the disk space
to do that.
So I've been thinking that creating one FIFO per mailbox might be the
solution. I read in the documentation: "If enabled, tells the Client to
read the data on a backup and write the data on a restore to any FIFO
(pipe) that is explicitly mentioned in the FileSet." That seems to
almost meet my needs - except that I don't necessarily know in advance
how many mailboxes, and thus FIFOs, there will be.
Is there another way to accomplish this?
