## Backup Webmail (for Admins only)

### Backup your database

When you only want to backup the webmail-module these tables are important. How to backup? Using a shell command: `mysqldump -c -r <backup_filename.sql> -h <hostname> -u <username> -p%lt;password> <database> <table_name>`

- mgw_webmail_accounts - contains every user's account settings

- mgw_webmail_links - contains all external links (not used at the moment)

- mgw_webmail_mailboxes - contains all folders

- mgw_webmail_messages - contains all emails (only the headers)

- mgw_webmail_sidebar - contains the favorites (folders in sidebar/favorites)

Also important: (not webmail-module directly but neccessary for it):

- mgw_users - contains all users, usernames, userids

- mgw_groups, mgw_groups_members - contains all users, usernames, userids

- mgw_contacts, mgw_companies, mgw_contacts_groups - contains contacts (persons, companies)

### Backup you hard-disk

When you only want to backup the webmail-module these folders + subfolders are important:

- /mgw/modules/webmail2/store - contains all emails (full mails stored as .eml)

- /mgw/modules/webmail2/cache - not neccessary (should only exist)

- /mgw/modules/webmail2/home - not used at the moment
