Topic: rsync and acces to var/vmail

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.3

====

In order to move our installation from 0.3 to the newest version, i need to sync the mails from the older server, to the new one. If i try to do it with my default user, i get permission error, how do i enable acces to var/vmail with out breaking the running server?

i got it working by:

sudo rsync -av --progress -e "ssh -i /home/ubuntu/ssh.dsa" --rsync-path="sudo rsync" /var/vmail/  ubuntu@myserver.com:/var/vmail/

/var/vmail/vmail1 and /var/vmail/sieve must be owned by vmail:vmail, permission 0700.
