What does Postgre do?
Posted: Thu Dec 23, 2010 10:27 am
I am running the backup script that is in the wiki (I think it's ombackup, it creates a tgz of each person's mailstore).
I haven't had to import one of these yet, but when I wander through the scalix directory on the server, I can find each person's directory, and in them is email messages. So I'm wondering, what does Postgre bring to the game? Does it store the "system settings" (users and their details, etc) but not email? Does Postgre store things like calendar entries, contacts, tasks??
I am being told to setup a second mail server of a competitor, and import a few mailstores and test it against Scalix. I just don't know how I would export all that person's calendar, tasks, etc. and then import it into the other mailserver. (I am thinking export from each user's desktop as a PST, then import it once an account is setup on the new mailserver. But this would be painful for someone with hundreds of mailboxes if they were forced to leave Scalix [I don't have hundreds!!])
