omcpoutu - "file size limit exceeded" for mailbox

[nader]

I am using omcpoutu to backup user's mailboxes. I am backing up their inbox, their sent items, and contacts as seperate folders. I am using Scalix 10.0.1.

When I issue the following command:

Code: Select all

omcpoutu -n "User Name/domain,server" -f user_name.dat -Si -F


I get the following error:

Code: Select all

File size limit exceeded.


Thinking his mailbox is too large, I did the following:

Code: Select all

  omscan -Afx -U "User Name/domain,server"

I then get the following:

Code: Select all

omscan running on 06.26.06 at 22:18:23.
Host computer : server
Fix mode requested.

Last omscan tool run on 06.26.06 at 22:17:32; duration 1 minute(s).

Current server cycle not started; service reset or delayed.

I have anoither user with a 2.7GB mailbox, who's backups are done the same way, but work perfectly.

As a final note, the User_Name.dat file is 2,097,192 KB large after the error has been reported.

Any ideas?

Hi,

For files over 2GB you can try to do the following command

Code: Select all

omcpoutu -n "usernamer/mailnode" -f - > filename


Cheers,
Yuri

Thanks! That command worked. What's confusing me though is that omscan reports the user's mailbox is 1.5GB large. The actual amount of data backed up in the user_name.dat on the other is 3.4GB.

Why is that?

Regards,

Nader.

The data omscan is referencing is likely old.

omoff -d 0 omscan
omscan -Z
omon omscan

Will force a new check immediately. It will have a performance impact, and can take a significant amount of time. If your server is really busy, then leave this for afterhours, otherwise, feel free to run it as needed.

Hi,

I made the command to export an oversized mailbox:

omcpoutu -n "usernamer/mailnode" -f - > filename

How is the syntax to use omcpinu to import an oversized mailbox?

Thanks!!!

Same principle as with omcpoutu, specifying '-f -' means the command will expect input on STDIN, so:

Code: Select all

omcpinu -m 'mailnode' -f - < filename

Will do what you need.
