Retrieve Backup in Zurich

All files in the home directory in Zurich are backuped once a day and can be retrieved when something went wrong in the meantime.

When Thunderbird does not work anymore, the backup can be retrieved the following way:

• Store your .thunderbird folder under a different name: mv .thunderbird/ .thunderbird.bak/
• Retrieve the backup: rsync -avx /disk/recover/YYYY-MM-DD/home/hep/username/.thunderbird/ .thunderbird/, where YYYY-MM-DD is for example 2009-07-25
• Check that all the files are in the correct place.
• Restart Thunderbird

With all other folders, it should work the same way. Note, though, that files in /disk/data are not backuped.
