Kerio Workspace Administration Interface
20
In the Backup scheduling section, you may create and set the backup tasks. Check the Enable
message store and configuration recovery backup option to activate it.
Kerio Workspace offers two types of backup tasks: full backup and differential backup. The
full backup stores all files and settings in Kerio Workspace. The differential backup stores only
files changed or newly created since the previous full backup.
To create a new backup task, click the Add button and set the following parameters:
• Description — description of the task for better orientation.
• Schedule —set the time schedule for the backup: Day of week and time (Start at),
• Backup type — backup mode: Full or Differential backup.
You can edit, remove, enable or disable any of the backup jobs. The task list shows all the
necessary information about each item.
By clicking the Advanced button, you may set the number of full backups to be kept (after the
number is reached, older backups are deleted).
In the Target backup directory, enter or select the path to the target folder for backups.
If you wish to be informed about the backups, their results and possible errors, enter an email
address in the Notification section.
The Current status section shows information about the last backup and allows you to start
a new backup immediately. The settings must be saved with the Apply button or by confirming
the dialog window.
Warning:
Make sure there is enough free space on the backup disk. Especially full backups can create
large files.
For standard settings, make one full backup a week with daily differential backups (see
figure 4.10).
Recovery
Data stored on the server are backed up in set intervals. You can restore them from the backup
files if necessary.
To restore data, follow these steps:
1. From the backup folder (defined in the Backup section), copy the last full backup file in
the main directory of Kerio Workspace and unpack it.
2. If any differential backups were created after this last full backup, unpack them also in
the main directory of Kerio Workspace (the oldest file first).
