Best method of backing up postfix

[Paul Hutchings]

I guess it depends a little on the architecture of your distribution,
but all I do is a weekly tar/email of the /etc/postfix folder as it's
the only place that my postfix config files live.

There are a few odds and sods outside of that folder but they're related
to policy servers that can be added at leisure if I ever lost the box
and had to rebuild.

Subject: Best method of backing up postfix

Hi,

What would be the best method of backing up a postfix configuration?

I have several smtp systems that I need to DR protect and I was just 
wondering if I just need to tar the /etc directory of the systems

Thanks

Lance
