Hi group,
I am a newbie with offlineIMAP, so have some patience .......
I've looked on the net, but could not find a proper procedure to restore
a folder i backuped with
offlineIMAP from a synology NAS. (192.168.2.99)
This is my simple script to make the backup ( on a debian linux system
under user miep)
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/opt/someApp/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
/usr/bin/offlineimap >> /home/miep/imap.log 2>&1
echo `date +%d-%m-%y` >> /home/miep/imap.log
tail -2 imap.log |mail -s "Backup-Mail-miep" miep at some-domain.com
/bin/rm /home/miep/imap.log
This is the -dot-offlineimaprc
root at Sheeva:/home/miep# cat .offlineimaprc
[general]
accounts = miep
[Account miep]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote
[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = /MailBackup/miep
[Repository Remote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = 192.168.2.99
remoteuser = miep
remotepass = known-to-me
readonly = true
How do i restore a single folder or if thats not possible the whole set
from the debian linux system
back to the server ? ( in a different user ?)
Help appreciated!
