Hi,

Sure, to backup Gossamer Mail using SSH/Telnet do:

1. Backup your SQL Data:

mysqldump --add-drop-table -uUSER -pPASS DATABASE > backup_sql.txt

2. Backup your Messages:

tar czpf backup_data.tar.gz /full/path/to/data

where the path is the path to your data directory.

To restore from a backup you would do:

1. Restore your SQL Data

mysql -uUSER -pPASS DATABASE < backup_sql.txt

2. Restore your messages

cd /path/to/data/.. # one directory behind data
tar xzpf backup_data.tar.gz

will extract your data files and restore templates, message bodies, etc.

Hope this helps,

Alex
