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:
mv .thunderbird/ .thunderbird.bak/
rsync -avx /disk/recover/YYYY-MM-DD/home/hep/username/.thunderbird/ .thunderbird/
, where YYYY-MM-DD is for example 2009-07-25With all other folders, it should work the same way. Note, though, that files in /disk/data are not backuped.
