The SEP sesam online module for Kopano (formerly Zarafa) provides hot backup and restore of Kopano groupware servers. This includes backing up and restoring single user mails, mailboxes and public folders.

There are two ways to restore your Kopano mail(s) in SEP sesam: by using GUI restore wizard (described below) or through the web interface Restore Assistant (in v. ≥ 4.4.3. Grolar). Even though most of the options are the same in both restore interfaces, the web Restore Assistant interface is designed to be more intuitive and offers additional advanced options. However, it cannot be used for scheduling restore, as scheduling is only supported in the GUI mode. For details, see Restore Assistant.

In the GUI, the restore is triggered from the Menu bar -> Activities -> Restore. The restore wizard guides you through the process of restoring your data. For general step-by-step procedure, see Standard Restore Procedure.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you have sufficient restore permissions and access rights.
  • Ensure that there is enough free space on the target system to which you are restoring your data.

Configuring Kopano restore

SEP sesam supports single item restore (restore of individual elements such as e-mails and contacts from the backup) as well as a full mailbox restore.

When restoring single mails, the only option you can select in the last step 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/kopano and can be imported manually with the regular Kopano command (kopano-backup).

Steps

Before you begin, ensure that the prerequisites are met. This example shows the procedure for restoring a single mail into the original folder. The procedure differs slightly depending on whether you are restoring a single mail or a regular mailbox. In the latter case, the complete mailbox is selected instead of an individual mail (refer to steps 4 and 5).

  1. From the SEP sesam GUI menu bar, select Activities -> Restore. The New Restore Task window opens.
  2. Select what you want to restore. You can search savesets by task name or by filename or path.
  3. Under the Saved in period drop-down lists, specify the time frame for which you want to conduct the search. Click Next.
    4. Kopano restore filter Tigon Beefalo V2.jpg
  4. The search results are displayed. From the list of savesets matching your query, click the version you want to restore. Click Next.
    5. Information sign.png Note
    If you want to perform a complete mailbox restore, select Complete restore of selected task and set additional restore options in the final step of the wizard. For details, see Standard Restore Procedure.

  5. In the Select Files window, select a single mail you want to restore. Click Next.
    6. Kopano restore select file Tigon Beefalo V2.jpg
  6. In the Target Settings window (previously Save and Start window), set additional restore option. Under the Execution options drop-down list, select Auto recover after restore. Note that all other fields must stay unchanged.
    7. Kopano restore save Tigon Beefalo V2.jpg
  7. In the final step of the restore wizard (Summary window), you can review all the settings of your restore task. You can start the restore immediately or save the restore task as a template for future use.
Information sign.png Note
A restore task can be scheduled like any other task. If you want to add a restore task to the schedule, see Scheduling Restore.

Monitoring restore

You can view the status of your restore jobs by selecting Job State -> Restores from the Main Selection. Restore overview provides detailed information on the last run of restore jobs, including the task name, status (successful, error, in queue ...), start and stop time of the last backup, data size, throughput, client and message.

As of 4.4.3 Beefalo V2, you can also monitor the restore progress using the Web UI. For details, see SEP sesam Web UI.
