Field	Description
DB settings	Click the button to configure your database settings (seeDatabase Settings for more information). Note: Backup has to be set manually unless using more advanced solutions – e. g. paid versions of MySQL.
Shared account prefix	Specify a prefix for shared accounts. Folders of a shared account begin with this string. In the case this string does not include a slash, folder items are shown directly. Use a slash to create a directory structure. By default, this prefix is set to "~" (tilde). It is recommended to keep this setting. Note: When subscribing shared folders within IMAP email clients (except for IceWarp WebClient) it is necessary to fill in shared account names with this prefix. See the IMAP chapter – Subscribing Folders section. Note: You can keep all shared folders in one root folder. Use slashes to create the wished structure.
Keep deleted items for (Days)	Set number of days. Deleted groupware items can be recovered during this period. After this time, they are deleted permanently. When the value is set to 0 (zero), items never expire. Note: Any new installation has this mode by default active. It can be disabled only via the API (c_gw_keepdeleteditems).

Shared account prefix

Specify a prefix for shared accounts.

Folders of a shared account begin with this string. In the case this string does not include a slash, folder items are shown directly. Use a slash to create a directory structure.

By default, this prefix is set to "~" (tilde). It is recommended to keep this setting.

Note: When subscribing shared folders within IMAP email clients (except for IceWarp WebClient) it is necessary to fill in shared account names with this prefix. See the IMAP chapter – Subscribing Folders section.

Note: You can keep all shared folders in one root folder. Use slashes to create the wished structure.

Keep deleted items for (Days)

Field	Description
Start	Click the button to start the GroupWare module. See the System Node – Services – General tab.
Stop	Click the button to stop the GroupWare module. See the System Node – Services – General tab.
Backup Data	Click this button to backup an account. The Select Item dialog (see the User Groups – Creating the Resource section) will open, here you can select the account or domain to be backed up. Choose the account and click the Select Account button. A standard file browser will open allowing you to choose the destination folder for the backup.
Restore Data	Click this button to restore an account. A standard file browser will open allowing you to select the appropriate backup file to be used for this restore. The restored account (or domain) is not selected as this information is included in the backup file. Note: Restore errors can occur when trying to restore groupware data that already exist – e.g. groupware items within the Trash folder(s) of the appropriate account(s). See the following text to avoid/ deal with this situation. There are two ways how to restore data: Warning: Before you delete anything from your database, backup it! Do not perform any irreversible commands unless you are sure what you are going to do. Before data restore, perform the data deletion – see further the Data Delete section. Be aware of the fact that items created by the user(s) meanwhile will be lost. Before data restore, perform SQL query (command respectively), within the SQL Manager, to reveal/delete items within the appropriate folders. To show event type items remaining in the Trash folder, you can use this query: SELECT Event.* FROM EventGroup, EventOwner, Event WHERE Own_Email = 'chi@test.com' AND OWN_ID = GRPOWN_ID AND EVNGRP_ID = GRP_ID and EvnFolder='@@trash@@' Replace chi@test.com >with the wished email. To show contact type items remaining in the Trash folder, you can use this query: SELECT ContactItem.* FROM EventGroup, EventOwner, ContactItem WHERE Own_Email = 'chi@test.com' AND OWN_ID = GRPOWN_ID AND ITMGRP_ID = GRP_ID and itmFolder='@@trash@@' Replace chi@test.com with the wished email. To delete these groupware items from the Trash folder, replace SELECT with DELETE. Warning: The second way is recommended only as an emergency solution. The query clears items only from master tables leaving many orphans in the database.
Restore From DB	This feature allows you to restore only one user, group or domain from your backed up database and leave the currently running database intact. Click the button to open the Database Settings dialog where you can select the appropriate user, group, domain. For detail description of this dialog, refer to the Shared Topics – Database Settings. Note: The dialog opened here is slightly different – the Backup Connection section plus some buttons are missing.
Delete Data	Click this button to delete all data for a specific account. The Select Item dialog will open to allow you to choose the account or domain whose data is to be deleted.
Rename Folders	Click the button to rename default groupware folders for either single users or whole domains. The Rename Default Folders dialog opens. You may want to rename folders e. g. because of localization after upgrade from an older version where localizations were performed by WebClient. Note: You can rename also default WebClient folders here.
