Question
Only email settings from a subscription need to be backed up.
How to create/restore a backup of email settings only?
Answer
Plesk does not have the functionality to perform a backup for only the email settings, however, it can be done for the restore of the backup.
There is a request for such functionality in our User Voice portal here:Â Email Backup – just configuration NOT content
The top-ranked requests are most likely to be included in future Plesk updates.
In order to be able to restore email settings only, first, a full backup for Mail and Content has to be done.
To create a backup of the email settings only:
-
Log into Plesk
-
Go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > Back Up
-
Create a Full backup of the Mail configuration and content:
To restore mailbox configuration from this backup:
-
Log into Plesk
-
Go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager and select a backup
-
Choose Mail Account, select a subscription and mailboxes to restore:
-
Select Only configuration of the selected objects on Restoration options:
-
Click on Restore
