This article explains how to backup and restore backed up folders to MDaemon.
Backup MDaemon
Backing up these folders is a simple as copying them and moving to a secure location. Copying the entire \MDaemon directory would backup the entire server structure. This would include users, domains, public folders, spam filter settings, archives, etc. If only certain settings/data/configurations are required for backup, then these can be selected individually. Listed below are examples of folder specific backups.
