Nope, syntax is the same. However the location of the mail files
definitely has changed. You didn't indicate *how* it's failing
for you, but that would be my guess, based on what you've
said. Do a search for the files you're attempting to back up,
and make sure you're copying the right ones.
Thanks for asking!
