I shoot snapshots from the underlying FS of the spool partition(s) and the 
main DB files (skiplist) - incl. (incremental) filesystem dumps of them.

in a desaster scenario it usually works well to reinstantiate the last 
snapshot and start the server(s) with a forced full reconstruct run. But this 
only offers "low resolution" recovery (mails / mods since last snapshot are 
gone then).

Beside this we run daily FS backups (incl. cyrus DB dumps) which allows us to 
reinstall from zero (i.e. autmated by ansible or similiar) on system and FS 
level.

I'm a bit new to the new included backup mechs and repo features in cyrus 3 
and interested in experiences with setups, allowing a efficient "lossless" 
recovery too.


best regards,


niels.
