Replication and backups

[Patrick Goetz]

On further thought, it seems like this would be a solution:

   ----------                 ----------
  | Server 1 |  ---DRBD-->   | Server 2 |
   ----------                 ----------

   Step 1: Stop cyrus on Server 1.
   Step 2: Turn off replication on Server 2.
   Step 3: Restart cyrus on Server 1.
   Step 4: Back up filesystem on Server 2.
   Step 5. Turn replication back on on Server 2.


Cyrus would only have to be off for a few seconds on Server 1, and 
resynchronizing after the connection has been terminated for a couple of 
hours shouldn't be a problem, either.
