I have a Qmail Server running in an Linux RH box since last 4 years. what I need to do is that to add a mirror to the existing hdd to make it redundant as the life of existing hdd may be over.(Although its working properly ) but I don't want to down the server as it is running online and is critical for my client.
Lot of things depend on how you have installed your current setup. If your user info is in DB you would need to take regular snapshots of that database. If possible install/configure replicator. Else you need to think of other ways of copying user info. Secondly you need to take backup of your mailstore. Use rsync for that.
Mails currently in queue are bound to inodes so you may choose to drop rsyncing qmail-queue (I am not really sure about this though).
HTH.
