back up the postfix queue

[gwu]

what is the best way to back up the postfix queue on RH 7.3. So far the only way that might work is :

postfix stop
tar --create --file=/backup.tar /var/spool/postfix
postfix start

if i need to restore on this or another machine:

postfix stop
tar -xf backup.tar
postsuper
postfix start

will this work?

Maybe try the Postfix forum.
See forum921
