Overview

You can create a backup of your Kerio Connect data such as the user mailboxes, public folders, mailing lists, configuration files, licenses, SSL certificates, and the SpamAssassin database.

You can restore the most recent or relevant backup in case of system issues that may cause data loss or corruption. You can also use backups to migrate your installation to a new server or operating system.
