To migrate Bayes training data from one server to another

Administrators can also use the sa-learn command to export Bayes data from one server and import it on another. To export the Bayes data run the following command:

sa-learn -u amavis --backup > /tmp/amavis-bayes.db

Transfer the /tmp/amavis-bayes.db file to the new server and run the sa-learn command below to import the Bayes data into the Warden database (Warden must be installed first):

sa-learn -u amavis --restore /tmp/amavis-bayes.db

Note: It will likely take at least a few hours to import a large database. It takes about two hours to import a dump with 2 million tokens.
