Procedure

The script restore.sh will restore user data from the backup directory into a user's or another user's mailbox, as required, into a sub-folder named restored_<timestamp>.

To start it:

./restore.sh USER|MAILSHARE BACKUP_PATH USER|MAILSHARE EMAIL_ADDRESS

• USER|MAILSHARE: to restore a user use the keyword USER, to restore a shared mailbox use the keyword MAILSHARE

• BACKUP_PATH: path to the data in the BlueMind backup directory (/var/backups). The path looks like:

  User Mailshare

  /var/backups/bluemind/dp_spool/rsync/<IP>/mail/imap/<backup number>/var/spool/cyrus/data/<bluemind domain>/domain/<domain initial>/<domaine bluemind>/<user initial>/user/<user>/

  E.g. for the user "jdoe" on the domain "bluemind.loc":

  /var/backups/bluemind/dp_spool/rsync/192.168.122.148/mail/imap/806/var/spool/cyrus/data/bluemind_loc/domain/b/bluemind.loc/j/user/jdoe/

  /var/backups/bluemind/dp_spool/rsync/<IP>/mail/imap/<sauvegarde>/var/spool/cyrus/data/<domaine>/domain/<initiale_domaine>/<domaine>/

  You can see that for a mailbox, the path stops at the domain level. Therefore, the path is always the same for all mailshares of the domain.

  E.g. in our sample domain "bluemind.loc", path will be:

  /var/backups/bluemind/dp_spool/rsync/192.168.122.148/mail/imap/806/var/spool/cyrus/data/bluemind_loc/domain/b/bluemind.loc/

• USER|MAILSHARE: as for first keyword, indicates the target mailbox type
• EMAIL_ADDRESS: email address for the target mailbox you want to restore the data into

Then, you have 4 possibilities:

User > User User > Mailshare Mailshare > User Mailshare > Mailshare
