XBACKUP and backupd not backing up public folders (3.0.8)

Wed Oct 9 01:17:45 EDT 2019

Hi Deborah,

Does the same problem occur if you use sync_client (on the master server, as the cyrus user) to replicate the shared mailbox to the backup server (rather than using XBACKUP over IMAP)?  Something like "sync_client -n rsync  -m support at polyfoam.com.au" I think?  What about if you use "sync_client -n rsync -u support at polyfoam.com.au" instead (i.e. with -u treating the shared mailbox as a USER rather than as a -m MAILBOX)?

On the backup server, what does the "ctl_backups verify -vvv -m polyfoam.com.au!support" command say about the shared mailbox?  There might be personally-identifying information in this output, I can't remember -- please check/censor carefully before pasting into email.

It's almost certainly significant.  Are you able to enable core dumps and get a backtrace from it?  That'll probably be the fastest path toward a solution.  Let me know if you need help with this :)

Cheers,
