EnglishI’ve just set up Borgmatic to back up my Mailcow as per the instructions at mailcow: dockerized - Blog
and I’ve completed a restore to a new virtual machine and all seems okay. mailcow.email
I’ve noticed that Borgmatic is set to back up the vmail and crypt volumes and the database, but it doesn’t back up postfix, rspamd, or redis like the official backup script does.
Is this a problem? Do I need to continue backing these up via the official script?
I wrote that guide. And you’re right, it doesn’t back up postfix or redis. But there’s no reason it couldn’t. If I can find the time I may amend the guide at some point. I’m just extremely busy with work at this time.
Have something to say?

Hi Felix, thanks for getting back to my question. I appreciate the time you’ve put in already with Borgmatic and thanks to it’s de-duped backups I can keep many more snapshots and still use less disc space than before.
I had a look into adding the extra bits as new sources and I can’t remember which it was but one would always end up getting stuck during a backup run while the other two would add fine.
While I’d say I know enough about running a mail server, I didn’t feel confident with the changes I made so I stuck with Borgmatic using your guide and I still use the “official” script to backup postfix, rspamd and redis.
