Hello,
we are creating backups of our public folders with following command: /usr/bin/doveadm -o mail=mdbox:/home/vmail/public backup "mdbox:/var/local/backup/dovecot/public"
With doveadm we can search/extract mails like that: doveadm -D -o plugin/acl="" -o mail=mdbox:/var/local/backup/dovecot/public search mailbox INBOX.projects.implementation.55-0004-000-IT.Server.Mailsystem.imap all .... doveadm(bwe): Debug: Effective uid=0, gid=0, home=/root doveadm(bwe): Debug: acl: No acl setting - ACLs are disabled doveadm(bwe): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:/var/local/backup/dovecot/public doveadm(bwe): Debug: fs: root=/var/local/backup/dovecot/public, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(bwe): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Public., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:/home/vmail/public doveadm(bwe): Debug: fs: root=/home/vmail/public, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(bwe): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Archive., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:/home/vmail/archive doveadm(bwe): Debug: fs: root=/home/vmail/archive, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(bwe): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=no, subscriptions=no location=fail::LAYOUT=none doveadm(bwe): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= 12a155041b825d57c7150000d77ca1d0 2 12a155041b825d57c7150000d77ca1d0 3 12a155041b825d57c7150000d77ca1d0 4
When trying to import mails from those backups we can find no way to address the public folder to import from: doveadm -D -o plugin/acl="" import -u bwe mdbox:/var/local/backup/dovecot/public restore Mailbox projects.implementation.55-0004-000-IT.Server.Mailsystem.imap all doveadm -D -o plugin/acl="" import -u bwe mdbox:/var/local/backup/dovecot/public restore mailbox INBOX.projects.implementation.55-0004-000-IT.Server.Mailsystem.imap all doveadm -D -o plugin/acl="" import -u bwe mdbox:/var/local/backup/dovecot/public restore mailbox Public.projects.implementation.55-0004-000-IT.Server.Mailsystem.imap all
nothing happens, we just get: doveadm(bwe): Debug: Effective uid=0, gid=0, home=/root doveadm(bwe): Debug: acl: No acl setting - ACLs are disabled doveadm(bwe): Debug: fs: root=/var/local/backup/dovecot/public, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(bwe): Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=mdbox:~/mdbox doveadm(bwe): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/master_user=bwe doveadm(bwe): Debug: Effective uid=2000, gid=2000, home=/home/vmail/bwe doveadm(bwe): Debug: acl: No acl setting - ACLs are disabled doveadm(bwe): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:~/mdbox doveadm(bwe): Debug: fs: root=/home/vmail/bwe/mdbox, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(bwe): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Public., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:/home/vmail/public doveadm(bwe): Debug: fs: root=/home/vmail/public, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(bwe): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Archive., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:/home/vmail/archive doveadm(bwe): Debug: fs: root=/home/vmail/archive, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(bwe): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=no, subscriptions=no location=fail::LAYOUT=none doveadm(bwe): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt=
How can mails from those backups restored or how do we have to address the mailbox in this case?
