How can I backup all users and passwords if I'm using vpopmail?

If you are using mysql with vpopmail you can backup the mysql tables.

Plus you can backup all the vpopmail domain directories. 

If you are using vpasswd with vpopmail then the passwords are
stored inside the domain directory for each domain.

----------------------------------------------------

You can also create a tarball of all the vpasswd files with:

# tar -cvf account-backup.tar /home/vpopmail/domains/*/vpasswd
/home/vpopmail/domains/*/.qmail-*

This will give you a backup of all POP accounts and any aliases that are
configured, but not any user email.
