So, as I didnt have a backup I decided to do a clean install last night and just live with the lost emails - this is only a test system at the moment
I did a clean install and re-created the accounts, and email started to flow in again. This moring I see that 3.1 is out. So I do a backup as recomended here
LDAP: error code 80 - internal error
I then did the upgrade but it bombed out - here is the relavent part of the output

I was pretty disappointed but glad that I had at least backed up my new server this time. However, when I deleted /opt/zimbra and copied the backup back into its place, I keep being asked for the LDAP password when trying to start Zimbra
zmcontrol start
Host zimbramail.DOMAIN.TLD
Starting ldap...Password:
Even when i supply the password that I find with
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig -s | grep ldap
it keeps asking for a password
Question: what part of the restore process am I doing wrong?
To be honest, Im tempted to do a clean install of 3.1 seeing as I lost all my mail yesterday (my fault for mot backing up I know) but I think its odd that Im having issues upgrading a clean install of 3.0 to 3.1
