Backup Thunderbird-a

Thunderbird je mail klijent na CentOS-u.
Pošto volim da redovno radim backup mojih podataka, hoću da to uradim i za Thunderbird.

Thunderbird saves personal information such as messages, passwords and user preferences in a set of files called a “profile”, which is stored in a separate location from the Thunderbird program files.
When you install Thunderbird it creates a profile called “default”. This profile will be used automatically unless you invoke the Profile Manager and create a new profile.

Kako pronaći svoje “profile” podatke : kliknuti na Thunderbird, kliknuti na “Help”, odabrati opciju “Troubleshooting information”. Pod stavkom “Profile directoru” je podatak koji tražimo, u folderu sa imenom xxxxxxxx.default (x su random alphanumerics).
Da bi se našao folder :
# find / -name “xxxxxxxx.default” -print
/home/velda/.cache/thunderbird/neeopcb8.default
/home/velda/.thunderbird/neeopcb8.default

Da bi se uradio backup, potrebno je isključiti Thunderbird, i kopirati folder IZNAD xxxxxxxx.default foldera (u mom slučaju /home/velda/.thunderbird/).

Odličan link.
