done! but no email

[Eric Ferland]

I run this 
gyb.exe --email us...@example.com --action restore-mbox --local-folder "C:\temp\pst\mbox\test" --label-restored "TestLabel" --use-admin ad...@example.com --service-account

Restoring from 0 B file C:\temp\pst\mbox\test\Top of Outlook data file.mbx...

Restoring from 0 B file C:\temp\pst\mbox\test\Top of Outlook data file\Deleted Items\Deleted Items.mbx...

Restoring from 0 B file C:\temp\pst\mbox\test\Top of Outlook data file\Inbox\Inbox.mbx...

Restoring from 103.63kb file C:\temp\pst\mbox\test\Top of Outlook data file\Inbox\Onboard\Onboard.mbx...
restoring 3 messages (4)
done!



But I have none of the restored email or a labeled named "TestLabel" Am I missing something? 

[Dustin Douglas]

I believe the --use-admin switch is only for restoring to a group.

I've never needed to specify an admin account to do a user restore when using a service account. From my understanding GYB is using the service account credentials to impersonate the user specified in --email-address - it wouldn't need the admin account in any way.

Without the service account I get 


To make GYB run you will need to populate the client_secrets.json file. Try
running:

gyb.exe --action create-project --email  us...@example.com


[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\\GYB\\client_secrets.json'

[Eric Ferland]

When I run 

gyb.exe --action create-project --email  us...@example.com


[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\\GYB\\client_secrets.json'

c:\GYB>gyb.exe --action create-project --email  us...@example.com
File c:\GYB\oauth2service.json already exists. Please delete or rename it before attempting to create another project.

c:\GYB>

Also Im using gyb as a Google Workspace Admin

[Dustin Douglas]

Here's the command I'd suggest you try

gyb.exe --email us...@example.com --action restore-mbox --local-folder "C:\temp\pst\mbox\test" --label-restored "TestLabel" --service-account

There should only be one email address in the command - the one you're restoring to.

I'm guessing if you are using a service account for authorization, you don't need to specify the admin user's email in the command; the service account should have the necessary permissions to perform actions on user accounts.

[Dustin Douglas]

Right. GYB uses the service account to impersonate the users for whom you're backing up email. There isn't any need for an admin account to be in the mix. 

The ONLY time I've ever used --admin-account is when restoring to group, and I believe in that instance you can leave off the --service-account switch.
