.TH NOTMUCH-DUMP 1 2011-12-04 "Notmuch 0.10.2"
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
notmuch-dump \- Creates a plain-text dump of the tags of each message.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B "notmuch dump"
|
||
|
|
.RI "[ <" filename "> ] [--]"
|
||
|
|
.RI "[ <" search-term ">...]"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B "notmuch restore"
|
||
|
|
.RB [ "--accumulate" ]
|
||
|
|
.RI "[ <" filename "> ]"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BR dump " [<filename>]"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dump tags for messages matching the given search terms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Output is to the given filename, if any, or to stdout. Note that
|
||
|
|
using the filename argument is deprecated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These tags are the only data in the notmuch database that can't be
|
||
|
|
recreated from the messages themselves. The output of notmuch dump is
|
||
|
|
therefore the only critical thing to backup (and much more friendly to
|
||
|
|
incremental backup than the native database files.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With no search terms, a dump of all messages in the database will be
|
||
|
|
generated. A "--" argument instructs notmuch that the
|
||
|
|
remaining arguments are search terms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BR restore " [--accumulate] [<filename>]"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Restores the tags from the given file (see
|
||
|
|
.BR "notmuch dump" ")."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The input is read from the given filename, if any, or from stdin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: The dump file format is specifically chosen to be
|
||
|
|
compatible with the format of files produced by sup-dump.
|
||
|
|
So if you've previously been using sup for mail, then the
|
||
|
|
.B "notmuch restore"
|
||
|
|
command provides you a way to import all of your tags (or labels as
|
||
|
|
sup calls them).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
|
||
|
|
applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the
|
||
|
|
dump file.
