iRedMail Backup & Restore

revised: 17-Jan-2022

The iRedMail application is composed of several dependent applications thus is it complex to back up the application and all the related mailboxes. It will be equally very difficult to restore. Perhaps, the "professional" version offers this service more efficiently.
Note: In setup described herein, the writer does not recommend mail storage on the virtual server. The reasons being are that free email service providers (eg. Outlook, Gmail,Yahoo etc.) offer not only significant storage but powerful tools within to search and process one's mail. The cost and management, moreover, of hosting mailboxes on such a virtual server will be exceptionally high and risky.

Tip#01 If one follows the described setup to make one's mailserver a switch, then it is only necessary to establish a registry (a spreadsheet) containing the users, the mailboxes and the forwarding Outlook addresses. With such information at hand, the reconstruction of a previous iRedmail setup will be relatively easy to do.
