dovecot - Aug 2012 - Dsync and SIS

Hi all,

Just to clarify, if we back up a dovecot 2 server with SIS for 
attachments and ALT storage by rsyncing it (including the SIS and ALT 
storage) to a remote server when it's idle (or at least almost entirely 
so), and run dovecot on that machine, would it seem feasible to restore 
backups from that server by using dysnc - specifically for the scenario 
where someone accidentally deletes emails/folders etc.?

I've seen queries about SIS before but nothing specifically about this 
scenario.

Cheers

Alex

dsync over ssh should work for that, yes. (Locally if you use doveadm import
it's going to use the same SIS storage unless you override the settings.)
