Backing up /var

Postby wmcdonald » Thu Oct 26, 2006 9:15 pm

I'm trying to setup a backup of my Scalix system. I shut down Scalix using the [b]omshut[/b] command, then using my corporate backup system (CA ArcServe) on another server backed up everything in the /var partition to tape. After the backup was complete I started Scalix back up with the [b]omrc[/b] command.

At the end, I found the following files were not backed up. By missing these files, will it prevent a full recovery of my system in case we get another hardware failure? What are these files?

Hi Mac,

you're safe. These are transient files that are ok to be not backed up.

Cheers,

Sascha.
