There is a way to backup the mail file that includes the bootstrap info onto some dataVolumes daily.
It can help if the system disk is gone and the customer was not very carefull with printing the bootstrap info daily.
The way is to crontab the backup mail each morning (after backup) to one of the dataVolumes.
This one does it daily at 7:00.

#crontab -e

add a line:

0 7 * * * cp -rp /usr/spool/mail/backup /dataVolumes/ripro1.X.X/Legato/mail

#crontab -l

to view the crontab settings.
