Tip: Server Sync - Live Backup of Mail Folder

It can be very useful to backup a mail folder. By setting IceWarp FTP Server as on the picture below, users will access directly their mail folders (path variable $$homedir$$).

Navigate to the Synchronization tab, add a new task and set it to values such as these:

Now the server synchronization feature will backup the whole email folder (also subfolders the Recursive checkbox checked) of user account admin@<domain> to the local C:\BackUp\ directory.

Synchronization process will be performed once every day (except for Sunday) at 01:00 as set in the Scheduling option.

If you will access FTP site as admin@<domain> now, you will see the content of your email directory.
