For those of you using GMail I'll repost a comment of mine [0] about gmvault [1]: I have been using this for years and it's great software. One tip, store each different email account in it's own "database" my crontab looks like this: #Email backup
0 0,6,12,18 * * * /usr/local/bin/gmvault sync -d /XXXXXXX/email-backup/joshstrange --resume josh@joshstrange.com >> ~/mail-backup-logs/joshstrange.com.log 2>&1
0 1,7,13,19 * * * /usr/local/bin/gmvault sync -d /XXXXXXX/email-backup/otheremail --resume other@otheremail.com >> ~/mail-backup-logs/otheremail.com.log 2>&1
....
I sync it all locally to my house then back it up to Dropbox as well. The reason to store them in different databases is you cannot "filter" them out when restoring so if they all go to the same DB if you restore you are restoring ALL your email across all accounts to one new account.[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12987670 [1] http://gmvault.org/ |
