The SEP sesam online module for Zarafa provides hot backup of Zarafa groupware servers. This includes saving and restoring single user mails, mailboxes and public folders. Restore is triggered from the Menu bar -> Activities -> Restore. Restore wizard guides you through the process of restoring your data. For step-by-step procedure, see Standard Restore Procedure.

Restoring single mails

When restoring single mails, the only function you can select in the last register of the restore wizard is Auto recover after restore. If selected, SEP sesam will import the mail into the original mailbox. Otherwise, the exported mail data and index files will be restored into the file system to <SESAMVAR>/work/zarafa and can be imported manually with the command zarafa-restore.

The example shows a restore of a single mail into the original folder:

From the SEP sesam GUI menu bar, select Activities -> Restore. The New restore task window opens.
Select what you want to restore. You can search save sets by task name or by filename or path.
Under the Saved in period drop-down lists, specify the time frame for which you want to conduct the search. Click Next.

The search results are displayed. From the list of save sets matching your query, click the version you want to restore. Click Next.

Review your restore task configuration and set additional restore option in the final Save and Start step of the wizard. Under the Execution options drop-down list, select Auto recover after restore. Note that all other fields must stay unchanged.

If you want to start your single mail restore immediately, click Start. If you want to save the restore task, click Save.

A restore task can be scheduled like any other task. If you want to add a restore task to the schedule, see Scheduling Restore.
