Email Restore eM Client Anthony Last Update 2 years ago How to do a partial restore If you only need some of the data from your backup and don’t want to replace everything, you have the option of conducting a partial restore. It’s essential to know how to restore offline and change database locations to begin a partial restore. Here are the steps: Begin by renaming the database (For example ‘eM Client main’). Start the eM Client application on your computer - it will create a new empty database under the old folder name ‘eM Client’. Restore your data from the backup. Completing this action while offline is recommended so that no new messages are downloaded during the process. Locate the data you wish to retrieve. Export the data via Menu > File > Export or use right-click > ‘Save as’ to download it. Shut down eM Client. Delete the database where you restored, named ‘eM Client’. Rename your old database (‘eM Client main’) back to the original name (‘eM Client’). Start eM Client app - it will load your main database back. Finally, import the data you exported via Menu > File > Import or saved to return it to eM Client. Partial restore is a way to return specific data back to eM Client without losing your current database. It’s not always an ideal option for every situation, but a partial restore is a solution for users who want to restore pieces of data they might have lost without changing their current settings.
