me of Easy Migrate and I do plan to use that for migration. Can it be
used for backup since it pulls from another BO server? I could setup
another BO server to pull from other various servers or have duplicate
servers setup, but you never expect one to go down and I've always just
had one standby server to CMU import whatever server may go down from
the backup NAS source.<br>
<br>
The job did finish eventually by this morning. However, the raqbackup
notification came in at 10pm the night before, I guess it just hands off
the pigz jobs and moves on to finish? Also, when you say delete
~dcoolidge/mbox, you're referring to the users mailbox or some other
backup location? I'm afraid there would not be anything to export if I
delete the users mailbox.<br>
<br>
I totally agree the size of the mailbox is abusive, I plan to talk to
the user. Any suggestions for a way to archive mail on the server for a
user who wants to use IMAP and keep all mail for eternity? Personally, I
let my mail client do archiving locally.<br>

style="color:#909AA4;margin-left:24px;margin-right:24px;">Hi Robert,
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>At this point my recollection about how CMU works is a bit rusty, as
it
has pretty much been deprecated by Easy-Migrate and Easy-Backup. But
from what I seem to recall CMU does have a checksum for the export files
in its XML.
<br>
<br>So if you abort it while it is still exporting and then try to
import
the (partial) CMU-Export somewhere? It may fail. At least for those
files that didn't export completely. It also may not have written out
the complete cmu.xml if you aborted it prematurely.
<br>
<br>That part is where I'm not entirely sure, as I haven't used CMU in
quite
a while, nor have I aborted an export run of it recently.
<br>
<br>From what I can see in your process list it appears that it's still
exporting and using "pigz" to compress 4.users-dcoolidge-private.tar.gz.
<br>
<br>Means: It already has split the large tarball into four pieces so
far
(there might be more) to make it more manageable. But compressing 46GB
with "pigz" will sure take a long time. It's optimized for smallest
possible file size and not for speed.
<br>
<br>I for sure would go in an nuke ~dcoolidge/mbox, because nobody needs
a
46GB mbox file. That's abusively excessive.
<br>
<br>My recommendation: Either wait for it to finish. Or kill the export,
delete ~dcoolidge/mbox and then export again.
<br>

<br>
<br>On a 5209R I see a 43GB cum-mail spool created for a user box file
of
the same size. I noticed the modified date of just a couple of hours
prior when the daily crackup finished successfully last night about
10pm. I see still in the process:
<br>
<br>18842 ? S 1:07 /use/bin/perl
/usr/cmu/scripts/5209Rscanout.pl
<br>25360 ? S 0:00 sh -c tar cf -
--files-from=/tmp/cmu-files.dat | pigz >
/backup/data/4.users-dcoolidge-private.tar.gz
<br>25361 ? S 0:30 tar cf - --files-from=/tmp/cmu-files.dat
<br>
<br>The 4 file was the last file for the user that appears to have
completed
in the backup log with no errors and a reported size of 32427539843. Did
this not finish due to size? Is it safe to kill the process and nuke the
file?
