I'm sorry, I have no idea what "backup to the remote system" means to you.If you could provide some detail about what it is you're trying to do, perhaps I can help.

Hi Jay

my message store is 240GB and we are in process of upgrading our messaging system with the new set of

servers so i want to take a back of all mailboxes to the

new server which is in different location.

1) i want to take a complete backup of message store

to the server which is placed in different location.

imsbackup -f -is the start of your command. That tells imsbackup to stream the output to the std i/o. Now, redirect it to wherever you want it, such as a NFS mount, or suchimsbackup -f - .... > someplace you want the file.

Hi,I successfully tested this out :imsbackup -f - /INSTANCE/GROUP | ssh mailsrv@newserver " imsrestore -f -" It migrates the mailboxes of the entire group.But, prior to this you have to migrate the LDIF enteries of the users in the groupmsg_admin

Hi,

One little speed-up that is useful when using ssh to transfer large amounts of data is to use the "-c blowfish" option. This uses the faster but less secure blowfish algorithm to encrypt the data. On a switched local network though it should be plenty.

i.e.

imsbackup -f - /INSTANCE/GROUP | ssh -c blowfish mailsrv@newserver " imsrestore -f -"

Regards,

Shane.
