Hello,

I do not include my (huge, more than 5GB) notmuch database in backups,
as it can be recreated from the email files… with one exception: tags.
So I’m wondering if there is a way to backup these tags (and only the
tags) with the hope it would be much smaller. Do you know ways to do it?

Best,

Alan

I believe that "notmuch dump" is supposed to do exactly that.  At least
I hope so because that is how I am backing up my email tags :-)

Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll have a look. Someone also privately
suggested https://framagit.org/manu/notmuch-tools, which can be used for
tags synchronization.

Thanks again,

Alan
