Script to back-up E-mail on FreeBSD

immortaltechnique · 03-06-2008, 04:01 AM

Hallo all.

I have a tricky scenario on my hands and it involves backing up mails on a dormant server from the active mail server.

I have a mail server running Free BSD and squirrel mail and Qmail as the MTA and i want to write a script that will continuously perform back up procedures on the server then transfer the backed up mails (in a tar or .gz) to a second server running the same OS and mail client.

Kindly give your ideas and suggestions to do the above.

Thanks
