Re: Best Practice: Backing up Maildirs

I was just wondering how long is long and why that matters (unless we're
talking about half a day). I also use an rsync script that I have
crontab-bed to run after midnight. It may take a couple of hours to back up
each mail server, but then, what do I care? I'm asleep.
