Backup methods

[Albert Shih]

Hi everyone.


I would like to know what's kind of backup method are recommended for
cyrus-imapd.

My cyrus-imapd host (only one currently) are running under FreeBSD jail (something like
systemd-nspawn, lxc) & ZFS so I'm intend to use this method :

  stop the vm
  take a zfs snapshot
  start the vm

send the zfs snapshot on a backup server.

But that's going to kill some imap transaction event it's very short (~ 10 secondes), so I'm
wondering if they are better method.

Regards.
