Re: Backup Restore

With iRedMail-0.8.0, there's a backup script installed by default: /var/vmail/backup/backup_mysql.sh. You can execute it manually to make sure it works as expected:

# bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_mysql.sh

If you're running iRedMail with OpenLDAP backend, there's an addition script: /var/vmail/backup/backup_openldap.sh.

Note: Scripts mentioned in above link are /var/vmail/backup/backup_*.sh, so you don't need to download them again, please just read how to restore data it backed up.
