Retrieve Backup in Zurich
Introduction
All files in the home directory in Zurich are backuped once a day and can be retrieved when something went wrong in the meantime.
Retrieve the backup for Thunderbird
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.
