Hi all

I have a question. I always had everything inside the database. Now i exporten attachments outside the database and al is werking fine. However when i attempt to restore an e-mail with attachments (kopano-backup) iT is not restoring my e-mail. If i do a restore of an e-mail without attachments iT is wording fine.

Is the Some other approuch now that i have the attachments stored out of the database ??

For kopano-backup itself it does not make a difference if attachments are stored inside or outside of the database.

kopano-backup can take an argument to print more verbose logging. kopano-backup -l debug ...

Does that message already exist? Maybe try to restore it to a temp folder (see man page) ?

@fbartels

The message does not excist. I deleted this email to test. Also if i restore it to a folder restore-root=/Inbox it tells me the same thing 0 changes

fbartels

Please try something other than inbox.

@fbartels

Hi if i tell to restore to other folder same problem. 0 changes?

fbartels

Can you provide a copy of your backup files to feedback at kopano dot io?

@fbartels

Can i make a copy of just a couple of items? Because there are a lot of sensitive data in my backups

I tested if a restore a item without attachment it is working fine. I recently moved the attachments outside the database. Can it have somerhing to do with this? Before i did not have this problem?

fbartels

Well, as long as you can reproduce the effect, sure try reducing the amount of elements in the backup.

If i restore the item from webapp(trash restore items) it is working fine?

fbartels

I do not get what you are asking

@fbartels

Not asking. But i think it is strange that i can restore the item from the webapp.

But not from command line.

fbartels

Are you referring to the soft deleted items?/“Restore deleted items”? This is an entirely different functionality.

@fbartels

This has deffently to do with attachments. I restored a snapshot where every attachment is inside the db. Then i can restore without problems. Now i tried again with attachments outside db and i can only restore email without attachments.

No errors logged.

@fbartels

i think my database is somehow corrupt or something. if i move mails i outlook it wont move on my phone. before i never had this issue. is there somehow i can scan and fix the database? if corrupted?
