= Backup and restore =

=== Backup your Sogo server ===

there are a tool for backup and restore (and other things). This tool is called sogo-tool.
With it you can backup and restore your server.

Backup user 

'''#sogo-tool backup /mybackupdir my.user''' 

or to for backup all the users

'''#sogo-tool backup /mybackupdir ALL'''


=== Restore your datas ===

For one user : 

Restore the parameters (signature, filters ....) 

'''#sogo-tool restore -p /mybackupdir my.user'''

To see what is in the backup 

'''#sogo-tool restore -l /mybackupdir my.user'''

Restore the folders for one user 

'''#sogo-tool restore -f ALL /mybackupdir my.user'''

Restore only one folder (Calendar or contacts)

find the name with sogo-tool restore -l /mybackup my.user and

'''#sogo-tool restore -f mycontacts /mybackupdir my.user'''


for restoring all the users you have to make a little script :

{{{

#!/bin/sh
MYBACKUPDIR=/mybackup
USE_SIEVE=$(grep 'SOGoSieveScriptsEnabled = YES;' /etc/sogo/sogo.conf|cut -d '=' -f 2)

cd $MYBACKUPDIR 
for i in `ls`
do
  # create account in SOGo and set general preferences
  sogo-tool restore -p "${MYBACKUPDIR}" "${i}"

  # create and fill all calendars and addressbooks
  sogo-tool restore -f ALL "${MYBACKUPDIR}" "${i}"

  if [ "${USE_SIEVE}" = ' YES;' ]
  then
    # restore all ACLs and SIEVE scripts
    sogo-tool restore -p -c /etc/sogo/sieve.creds "${MYBACKUPDIR}" "${i}"
  else
    # restore all ACLs
    sogo-tool restore -p "${MYBACKUPDIR}" "${i}"
  fi
done

}}}
