Hi, I am contemplating migrating from maildir to dbox. However, I wonder about the maturity of the dbox code, as it appears to not be widely used. Does anybody have some success stories? My primary driver is to have non-changing file names, and thus smaller backup deltas. Are there other advantages that I should pursue? I read in the wiki that the migration is straightforward, but I did not manage to find an exact description. Pointers? Also, is it possible to migrate back, should it not work out? Thanks, Anders.

Does anybody have some success stories?No, but, hopefully you are using 1.1.x code... dbox will never work in 1.0.x... -- Best regards, Charles

Are there other advantages that I should pursue?I have been eyeing up Brackup as a backup solution - perhaps try that also? Regards Ed W

Does anybody have some success stories?There's one bug left that I'd like to fix before v1.1.0, but you probably won't run into it without stress testing.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
