Hi, But there is no "doveadm backup" option in dovecot 2.0.9 version. [root at production ~]# doveadm -backup doveadm: invalid option -- 'b' [root at production ~]# dovecot --version 2.0.9 Copy the contents by using "scp", will that work?

I tried this command also. It didn't work. It shows syntax again. Please see the supported commands in dovecot 2.0.9 version. This doesn't support replication also as per syntax, if i am not wrong. Please suggest me. [root at production ~]# doveadm backup -u kishore at test.org.com remote:vmail at production2.test.org.com usage: doveadm [-Dv] [-f <formatter>] <command>

Well that option set still doesn?t look correct? Here is the doveadm option set from my 2.2.2 server which is several weeks\months before 2.2.36?

I seem to recall a post a while back where, due to the age of the remote end, the remote side command had to be entered in the command executed on the local side. Do you have dsync on the 2.0.9 machine? > On Jul 27, 2020, at 4:16 PM, Kishore Potnuru <kishore.reachme at gmail.com> wrote: > > This is what my understanding.

Fair enough but the command snippet I posted was taken directly from your earlier post dated Mon Jul 27 23:11:06 EEST 2020 and it does say ?production1??I just double-checked as well... FWIW?the server order in the command you just pasted is the exact reverse from the Jul 27th post I mentioned above? Here you appear to be exec?ing the command on prod2 and trying to pull from the remote of prod

Hi! Kishore, you got the command wrong.. `doveadm backup -R -u username-goes-here imapc:` for this to work, you need to configure following things: imapc_host = old-host-name imapc_password = master-password imapc_master_user = master-user-name and on the old host you need passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } This should

Not sure if this matters but the prompt when attempting the ?doveadm backup? command shows it to be a ?production" server? [root at production1 <https://dovecot.org/mailman/listinfo/dovecot> test.org.com]# doveadm backup -R -u kishore at test.org.com <https://dovecot.org/mailman/listinfo/dovecot> remote:vmail at production2.baplc.com

Hi , I have tried the below command from the new server. But I am getting an error. Anything is missing here? ======== [root at production1 test.org.com]# doveadm backup -R -u kishore at test.org.com remote:vmail at production2.baplc.com vmail at production1.baplc.com's password: usage: doveadm [-Dv] [-f <formatter>] <command> [<args>] altmove [-u <user>|-A]

No, but there is backup option on the new server. That's why the -R, which means "backup to here".

Yes. Please find the details of the servers below. I am executing the command from one of the new servers. My Current Production Server details: ======================== Linux OS - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago) Dovecot version - 2.0.9 Postfix version - 2.6.6 ======================== New Servers: ========================== Linux OS - Red Hat Enterprise

Hey Kishore? I believe this is the thread I mentioned earlier. It is quite long and spans a monthly barrier (Feb\Mar 2012) so if you use the ?Next\Previous message? links, you need to be sure to pick up the thread in each monthly archive. I have provided links to the first post of the thread in each archive here: https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-February/133718.html

This is what my understanding. May be I am also wrong here. Backup option is there in my new server, production2. When I use the command with -R option from new server, it is connecting to old server, Production1 and giving the output of the doveadm backup command in old server to get the data. If you see the command and error I posted, it shows the same. Sorry just incase if I am wrong.

Oh, I am extremely sorry. I was confused when typing the issue. Please help me in fixing the issue. Production1 is my old server. Production2 is my new server. Typing here correctly. Ignore all previous one's. The new version is: ==================== [root at production2 ~]# dovecot --version 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63) The old version is : ====================== [root at production1 ~]# dovecot

Thank you Aki for the reply. But I cannot disturb the version at present as it is a live server and thousands of emails will circulate every hour. Could you please suggest me how to create HA/resilience for the existing environment. I have another server ready with the similar configuration. Please provide any steps/link for me to proceed on this? It will be a great help to me. Thanks, Kishore

Hi All, I need to migrate the complete data & setup/environment from an old dovecot environment to a new dovecot environment. Old environment details: ======================== Linux OS - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago) Dovecot version - 2.0.9 Postfix version - 2.6.6 New Environment details: ( 2 systems) ======================== Linux OS - Red Hat

I am executing the command from the new server. I was executing the command from production2 server only. It has the backup option, but whereas production1 doesn't have it. Though I am executing from production2, I am seeing the below error. Is it becasue production1 server doesn't have that option? Please let me know, if it is confusing. The old version is: ==================== [root at

Hi Dovecot team, I need help in configuring HA/resilence for my dovecot (POP3/IMAP) server. I have one RHEL Linux POP3/IMAP server with Dovecot version 2.2.10. I also installed the postfix(version: 2.6.6) in it. At present it have around 10 domains and each domain is having around 20 email boxes. It has very simple configuration. User's reading the email via some internal

I am using pop3/imap, see the below file. We can't verify any logs? This is working fine from last one year. as part of testing we just stopped the services for 20minutes and restarted the dovecot and postfix server using "service <dovecot/postfix> stop/start". No issues so far... I would like know, if the application is reading the emails from the server, do we have any log

Hi All, I need your help on one of the issue in Dovecot. I have the dovecot version 2.0.9 installed on RHEL linux 6.10 version. It's a single/standalone Live server. Now I have created another server with the same configuration for the resilince purpose. I also tested and I am able to send the emails to both of the dovecot servers separately/individually. They are working fine. Now I have
