Rsync script to restore mail accounts

Rsync script to restore mail accounts

Every one need to reduce work load, so we go for scripting. It’s very difficult to rsync manually if you have more 300 + mail accounts with (100 GB).

Here is a simple script you can rsync the mail accounts to remote server.

First you have to install the sshpass on your servers so we can assign the server password on the script otherwise you have to enable SSH_Key gen

Let’s do the sync.

First you have to take all the list of mail accounts on your server to a file /usr/local/src/mail.txt

Eg: info, contact,sales,floki ..etc

In cPanel server goto

cd /home/user_name/mail/domain_name.

You could see something like info, sales etc..

ls -al |awk {‘print $9’}|sed ‘s/.$//’

Copy the result to the file  /usr/local/src/mail.txt

FYI : Avoid . .. characters

Script

vim /root/mail_sync.sh

#!bin/bash
for i in `cat /usr/local/src/mail.txt`;do 

sshpass -p 'remote_server_root_password' rsync -avzh /home/user/mail/your_domain/$i/cur/* [email protected]_IP:/home/user/mail/your_domain/$i/cur/
sshpass -p 'remote_server_root_password' rsync -avzh /home/user/mail/your_domain/$i/new/* [email protected]_IP:/home/user/mail/your_domain/$i/new/
sshpass -p 'remote_server_root_password' rsync -avzh /home/user/mail/your_domain/$i/.Sent/new/* [email protected]_IP:/home/user/mail/your_domain/$i/.Sent/new/
sshpass -p 'remote_server_root_password' rsync -avzh /home/user/mail/your_domain/$i/.Sent/cur/* [email protected]_IP:/home/user/mail/your_domain/$i/.Sent/cur/
done

FYI : Add your username & domain name , Remote server IP & it’s Password in the script. If you are using other control panel like virtualmin, the mail Dir may different so correct paths accordingly

chmod 755 /root/mail_sync.sh

Create screen

screen -S mail_sync

Run the script

bash /root/mail_sync.sh
