Consider this: to create a backup of something you need at least read access to it. A mksysb image is the complete rootvg, which includes the most sensitive information of the system (namely everthing in /etc/security and the like). Ask yourself: will any other user except root be allowed to do it?

The answer is: of course NOT! That should answer your other questions too.

You can do it from a user using a sudo-rule if you have sudo installed, but that means that this user runs some process effectively as root either.

I hope this helps.

DESCRIPTION

       Unexpunge is used to restore expunged messages which have yet to be removed from the Cyrus mailspool.  This utility is only useful when the
       server is configured to use delayed expunge.

       Unexpunge reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -l     List the expunged messages in the specified mailbox which are available for restoration.

       -t time-interval
	      Unexpunge messages which were expunged in the last time-interval seconds.  (modifiers: m: minutes, h: hours, d: days, w: weeks).

       -a     Restore all of the expunged messages in the specified mailbox.

       -u     Restore only those messages having the specified UIDs in the specified mailbox.

       -d     Unset the Deleted flag on any restored messages.

       -v     Enable verbose output/logging.

FILES

       /etc/imapd.conf
