How Do I Backup WorldMail?

How do I back up WorldMail?

The easiest way to back up your server configuration is to export the server configuration into a text file using WorldMail's Bulkload utility.

Exporting

The procedure for exporting the server configuration into a text file is as follows:

1. Go to the command prompt

2. Change to Program Files\Worldmail\SMTP

3. Type "nibl -v -e -p Domain -f filename.ext"

   
   NOTE: The -p Domain option will export all local domains. If you have more than one local domain configured, and wish to only export selected domains, you will need to use "-p Domain=domain.name" and be sure to specify a new file name after the "-f filename.ext" option for that domain.

4. Enter the read password when prompted to do so. The user configuration will be exported to the filename you specify, e.g. "nibl -v -e -p Domain -f test.txt"

Next, make a backup copy of the Program Files\Worldmail\mailboxs directory.

NOTE: If you have WorldMail installed elsewhere, or nibl.exe is not in the Program Files\Worldmail\mailboxs directory, you can find it quickly by using Start:Find:Files or Folders and switch to the target directory.

Importing

To import users use the following command line:

"nibl -v -i -f filename.ext"

NOTE: You may also use the following to test the file for errors without importing:

"nibl -v -itest -f filename.ext"

We strongly recommend testing to make sure that everything exported OK.

NOTE: If you end up with 0 byte file, then the export did not complete successfully.
