I do this already... and since I use Courier, I process each Mailfolder seperatly, which mean, rsync is looking for nor more then ~20.000 messages at once. running rsync on ~/Maildir and hiting MY own Maildir will eat the WHOLE memory and CPU-Resources of this FileServer. > Looking forward, you might want to try this if you have some free, > unpartitioned diskspace (or a spare server): > - Set up DRBD on two servers > - Use LVM on top of the DRBD device > - Use the LVM tools to create periodic snapshots of your mail partition > > This way any changes are synchronised to the second server as they happen > (via DRBD), and you can recover old data almost instantly (by mounting one > of your snapshots). But this mean, my Backup-Server must have the same Diskspace as the FileServer. but since I use my Backup-Server for more then one Machine (exactly 126 currently) DRBD is no real solution... Even if I use 1TByte Drives (where the performance is ok, because it will be only used as storage meduim for backups), I need too much drives.
