Title: restore e-mails from admin via DAR2
Post by: tropicalview on August 20, 2009, 09:21:14 PM

Dear all,

i make backups with dar2 : http://wiki.contribs.org/DAR2

I did several times restores of files, and with success!
Now i want to restore the e-mails of the user admin without overwriting the currenct e-mails.
is it possible to restore everything of user admin including it's e-mails to an other user like admin2?

Kind regards,

I suspect the answer is to move the existing admin emails somewhere , restore the files then merge them.

In terms of where to move them, it is hard to know without additional info re your configuration but one possibility, if you use IMAP, may be to "pop" the existing emails, restore the files then copy the "poped" emails to the restored imap store.
