Backup and Restore

Although emails typically reside in MailStore Gateway mailboxes only for a short period of time, it is highly recommended to protect the content of these mailboxes as well as the configuration files by implementing a decent backup plan.

If not the whole computer is backed up anyway, the following path should at least be included in the backup set of you backup solution:

 %PROGRAMDATA%\MailStore\Gateway

As no files are kept open while the MailStore Gateway service is running, stopping the service prior to creating the backup is not necessary.
