Hi,
In case, I need to format my entire hard disk, how do I backup my mails?
Which is the folder (~/Mail, I suppose) I have to backup and how can I
retrieve the same?
To backup:
tar jcf mail-backup.tar.bz2 ~/Mail
To restore:
cd
tar jxvf PATH_TO_BACKUP_FILE/mail-backup.tar.bz2
to the same state of kmail after formating?
State should be restored.
Gurus, correct me if I'm wrong.
cheers,
