Re: Backup and restore the Contacts

Where did you view the contacts? Roundcube webmail? SOGo Groupware?

*) For Roundcube, you need to restore its sql db.
*) For SOGo, you need to EITHER restore its sql db, or restore its backup files under /var/vmail/backup/sogo/.

Re: Backup and restore the Contacts

Dear Sir thank you for your answer

I use Roundcube to see the contacts.

I restored the:
1-    amavisd.sql, iredadmin.sql, iredapd.sql, roundcubemail.sql, vmail.sql
2-    and restored the /var/vmail/backup/mysql                     

But the contacts don’t appear in the new server?
What I’m missing?

Regards

Re: Backup and restore the Contacts

If you don't run same Roundcube version on both old / new servers, you need to update SQL database structure after restored.
