init¶
Creates a template config file with placeholder values, so you have something to edit instead of starting from a blank file.
./imap-backup-tool init
Flags¶
| CLI flag | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--output, -o |
imap-backup-tool.yaml (or --config / IMAP_BACKUP_TOOL_CONFIG if set) |
Path to write the template config file to. |
--force |
false |
Overwrite an existing config file at that path. |
After running¶
Open the written file and fill in your IMAP server, credentials, and where to
save the backup — see Stages for every available
config option. Then generate an encryption key with
generate-key if you want the backup encrypted.
