Re: duplicating servers - remote backup to HD
Any good way to get around Qmail's usage of inode # as file names?
I've tried doing a simple cp before and it just doesn't work afterwards...
doens't see the files. I've seen hacks, but they don't seem to work well
and take forever to run, which can be tough, especially if you have
hundreds, if not thousands, of accounts, each possibly with a hundred
emails in each...
