Mailman core's entire state is in the var/ directory above.
I was working round my own backup strategy a few weeks ago as I discussed earlier on this list. One thing I found when the directory structure that Mailman Core uses is that the lists directories do not get re-created when Mailman Core starts if they don't already exist. Is this something that should happen, and when would those directories get created? Every other directory did get re-created.
In my case I was moving from a Dockerised installation to one using venvs, and as the directories from the Docker installation were empty as there hadn't been any postings for a few days, I didn't transfer those over. I created the list directories myself and everything carried on.
Thanks. Andrew.
