Dear SOGo users,
Due to some unknown circumstance, I seem to have lost all my personal
contact and calendar information in SOGo.
I have been using MySQL backup functionality (mariadb-backup) to
regularly back up the complete MySQL database, including the SOGo
database. Now, when trying to restore the database, the calendar and
contact information stays empty, independent from the specific backup I
am restoring. I also noticed that the file sizes of the database files
created by mariadb-backup are more or less identical and do not change
over time.
To narrow down the error, I would like to know if it is possible in
principle to backup SOGo calendar and contact information by backing up
the MySQL database, like I did (or better tried to do). If this is
possible, then I seem to have made an error while backing up or
restoring the database. If this is not possible, then I don't need to
work on the MySQL part.
Any other help is of course also appreciated.
And a +1 for always testing restoration when implementing a backup
strategy to avoid situations like mine...
Thank you for your consideration,
Paul
