Backup and Restore Groupware Calendars or Events in IceWarp

There are several ways to backup and restore Calendar Events. The restore process will depend on how the Events or Contacts were backed up.

1. Global level: The entire Groupware database is stored in a SQLite database, unless you changed it to a different database. The database file is located in the following default location under the installation path for IceWarp.

calendar\groupware.db

If you want to globally restore the data (All user Events and Contacts) you can restore a copy of this file. You would have needed to schedule a disk backup or have copied this file to a backup location (shared drive, etc...) for future restore.















Or, again globally, you can restore a backup file created manually from File - Restore Settings.
















Or restore from a scheduled backup under System - Tools - System Backup

Note: If you restore a backup file it will restore the entire server, including server settings, domains and users, etc....














2. Domain/User level: You can Backup the domain or individual users Groupware data from Groupware - General - Backup Data... See other options in this tab for backup and restore options.

Note: Keep in mind you would have had to use the backup option prior to the need to restore in order to restore the events in question.

3. User level: The user also has the option to backup (export) Events from IceWarp Webmail client.












Tools - Import / Export















Groupware tab

After logging in to Webmail select Tools - Import/Export, select the Groupware tab and Export. This will save the Events or Calendar to file so it can be restored later. Of course, this would have had to take place prior to the need to restore Events.

4. How to create a new Calendar? If you delete Events or want to create a second Calendar you can do so from Webmail. Select Tools - Options - General tab, and Default folders. From here you can select the ... button next to the folder you want to create and add it under your account. Make sure you select the type of folder you want to create and provide a name for the folder and press OK.
