If at all possible, change how you operate your systems so that the master copies of configuration files are managed indirectly. In the mean-time. Postfix configuration files are expected to be found in /etc/postfix and any other config_directories of additional Postfix instances. If your master.cf runs some services in a chroot jail, you need to have working tooling to re-create such a chroot jail for each queue directory. You may also have Postfix-related SASL configuration files, TLS certificates and keys, aliases(5) tables, content-filter configuration files, start scripts and executables. External delivery agent scripts and configuration files, related user accounts, mailstore-related cron jobs, cron jobs to update A/V signatures and RBL feeds, ... The list goes on and on. No generic script can figure out how to migrate your mail system from one system to another. If you are lucky and you test carefully, you'll find all the pieces by hand. A better solution is a configuration management system that builds working systems by pushing all the required components to a freshly-minted generic Unix server with a reasonably compatible base O/S. -- Viktor.

Either stop the respective services for the time of the backup, or use the appropriate export tools (e.g. mysqldump for MySQL). You can't simply copy the files of a running database. Also I'd suggest to use "rsync -a" instead of "cp -Rp" for performing file backups.

IIRC it's a Python script, so it should be possible to modify it to be usable on Linux as well. However, right now mailbfr is distributed as a .pkg, so one would have to go to some lengths to even extract the actual script from the package.
