In Kerio Workspace, you can backup the data store (all spaces and pages created in Workspace) and configuration files. You may set the options in the Backup section. Check the Enable message store and configuration recovery backup option to activate it.
In the Backup scheduling section, you may create and set the backup tasks.
Kerio Workspace offers two types of backup tasks: full backup and differential backup. The full backup stores all files and settings in Kerio Workspace. The differential backup stores only files changed or newly created since the previous full backup.
To create a new backup task, click the button and set the following parameters:
Description — description of the task for better orientation.
Schedule —set the time schedule for the backup: Day of week and time (Start at),
Backup type — backup mode: Full or Differential backup.
You can edit, remove, enable or disable any of the backup jobs. The task list shows all the necessary information about each item.
By clicking the button, you may set the number of full backups to be kept (after the number is reached, older backups are deleted).
In the Target backup directory, enter or select the path to the target folder for backups.
If you wish to be informed about the backups, their results and possible errors, enter an email address in the Notification section. You can also select a notification language.
The Current status section shows information about the last backup and allows you to start a new backup immediately. The settings must be saved with the button or by confirming the dialog window.
Warning
Make sure there is enough free space on the backup disk. Especially full backups can create large files.
In the advanced backup configuration, define the number of saved backups. If this number is reached, the oldest file will be deleted upon creating a new backup (the button).
Data stored on the server are backed up in set intervals. You can restore them from the backup files if necessary.
To restore data, follow these steps:
Stop Kerio Workspace. From the backup folder (defined in the Backup section), copy the last full backup file in the main directory of Kerio Workspace and unpack it.
If any differential backups were created after this last full backup, unpack them also in the main directory of Kerio Workspace (the oldest file first).
Run Kerio Workspace.
