what is the name if you run the script twice, do we add a date to the name of the backup
Yes. It creates a new directory with a time stamp
Makes sense that that file size is small.
Is there a way to backup the mail also ?
Yep, it is the job of the backup system of ns8
Sure. Not exactly the same
So you can not make a email backup or restore for a single user.
Only for for calender and contacts…That is weird. the Sogo-tools is available and not working as it should.
what do you expect ?
I believe you can with Sogo-tool you can make backup (email/calander/contacts) per user and restore it.
Why not in NS8
The NS8 backup is a restore of the complete app and all users within it
are you sure ?
not me at all
SOGo — NethServer 7 Final
Nope…

I think i’m mislead by the name and the experience with Kopano-backup
With kopano-backup you could backup email and restore it, even a single email.
Thanks !! 
well this is a new feature, coming but in the ns8-core
