Re: [IMail Forum] Backup all of imail

[Ken Anderson]

Scott. You would have less down time I think if you use an external database for the users. This way you can get the users names and password back by restoring the database not the registry. IMail defaults to storing the users information in the registry and takes time to restore it when you can just copy a file back to the IMail directory directory. I use a standard Access database.
