Hi Albert,


if not yet done, i would recommend to read this (depending from if you use 2.x or 3.x be aware of the new backup features in 3.x) to get a first overview:

https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/manpages/systemcommands/restore.html

https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/concepts/overview_and_concepts.html#mail-directory-recovery

https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/concepts/overview_and_concepts.html#mail-directory-recovery


hth a bit.

good luck,


Niels.
