hi
my linux is centOS 4.3 and I install qmail for it.I create some accounts.
but how can I backup from accounts and their inboxes?
I thinks thats very important that we wont need create accounts for two or more times.

You could use partimage and save the whole partition, then use partimage to restore to the moment you created the backup, in case you lose data. Make sure to store the partimage images on a different hard drive, or burn it to a dvd, or something so if your hard drive fails you have your backup on some other media. Knoppix would be a good tool for this, for a beginner. You might want to invest in O'Reilly's "knoppix hacks", it gives step by step instructions, for exactly this problem, and 99 more.

Best of luck
