Hi, we are looking at migrating our Cyrus mail store to a new system in a different data centre - trying to keep any user outage as small as possible. Cyrus 3.0.14 for now; we’ll look to upgrade that once the move has taken place - unless there is a good reason to do it first. My original plan was to create an identical VM, enable sync_client and let Cyrus replicate the mailboxes to new machine. Once they are all copied, we quiesce the old server (turn off imap/pop3/lmtp on the firewall), do a final sync_client (just to be sure) and then update everyone’s IMAP server in LDAP to point at new machine. Option 2, is to tar up the IMAP store (db + spools) and copy them to the new server - the tarball would be created when the server was quiesced and cyrus shutdown. The question, is whether sync_client is clever enough to be able to pick up from the point when the tarball was created and then continue with rolling replication?
