Scalix Forums

All of our clients maintain a contact folder, Contact1, under Public folders, read and write.

How can I export the shared contact folder to a file? so that I can backup it to tape periodically. Then what's the command to import it backup to scalix in case somebody made mistake.


thanks,

See the man page for sxmboxexp.

This command will list your public folders with their IDs

sxmboxlist -p

Say the output contains :
F-0000001281 Contact1

then to produce an archive, you can use :

sxmboxexp --public --archive contacts.mboxexp --folder F-0000001281

You can use sxmboximp to restore from the archive file "contacts.mboxexp" at a later date.

you can use the rest API to export the data:

e.g. wget -q http://mail.domain.com/api/sxadmin@doma ... tput=vcard --http-user=sxadmin --http-password=password -O - > /path/domain_contacts_vcard.txt

there is more information in the manual: Scalix API Guide
found here: http://www.scalix.com/community/downloa ... tation.php

There are several good threads about backing up Scalix data - these may provide more scope.

thanks, it works beautiful.
