Probably because he is only a Horde user, not the administrator. But
it's the administrator's duty to provide sufficient backups.
Correct.  I am only a user of the Horde application since my ISP has a 
version installed for all its clients.  Since I don't have control of 
the default settings when a new user is created I have to manually 
setup their Horde settings and it would be nice to automate that and 
have my own backup of the settings.



Again, this is a low priority.  I wouldn't expect it to be a very 
popular option.

Why cant you dump the entire contents of your preferences backend 
(i.e. sql dump).

My ISP manages a shared distribution of Horde for all its clients.   
Recently they had to restore everyones accounts from a backup after 
their server was compromised.  When I logged back into my webmail 
account after the restore all of my Horde preferences were back to the 
default.  The only thing restored properly was my address book.



What I would like is a way to export my preferences to a file and then 
later import them back in.  I could also use such a feature to 
configure other user accounts on my domain.



If this sounds like a good feature please implement it, otherwise feel 
free to delete this ticket.
