If you made a full backup of /opt/zimbra replacing the backup should be sufficient!
By the way, we use the same similar way with LVM snapshots and since our Zimbra server is a Virtual Machine, we have simulated a recovery from backup with success on a clone of the VM.

Hi Luca,
Good question. I'm not the back-end expert here; in fact I got those instructions from others; what I did that was different was write them coherently. . .
However, I believe there are some things that get set in other places than /opt/zimbra; specifically some cron jobs, some symlinks, and other things that reside in other places within the Linux system, such that a true restore without a clean install would leave an only partially-configured server.
If you're patient and have the time (which I don't right now), read through the install.sh script and see what it does. . .you'll see for yourself if I'm right or not.
