SAMS Recovery Kit
Administration Guide
Introduction
The Sendmail Advanced Message Server (SAMS) is a suite of commercial
messaging applications. These applications provide various services to
clients, such as POP and IMAP, as well as storing and transferring e-mail
messages.
The LifeKeeper® for Linux SAMS Recovery Kit provides a mechanism to
recover SAMS from a failed primary server onto a backup server in a
LifeKeeper environment. Both LifeKeeper and SAMS ensure data integrity
throughout the course of the failover process without significant lost time or
human intervention.
