Resolved Move all mail to another disk/partition

[Pavlo.UA]

Server operating system version

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian v18.0.56_build1800231106.15

Hello all. Dear Plesk Guru's, please help. It's not usual and important question. Not just an folder moving. It's working server. I need to move near 500Gb of mail from /var/mail/qmail to another location. Would you please tell how to do this? Reason: disk is running out of space I've connected new disk already, made a partition and have /dev/sdf1 to place all mail there. But there are owner, group and other rights. I'm sure can't just copy folder to folder. Here must be "dd" or other command. I will stop dovecot and postfix service to copy. But don't know how to copy to not break mail service after copying (messages databases, reading status, and etc.) Will appreciate for any help.
