That is what the full system backup would be for. These backup scripts are useful for individual mailbox backups which allow you to restore an individual mailbox in the event that a user decides to delete all of his/her email and then clear the trash or some other equally intelligent "stupid user trick".
As I stated in my posts above the restore using these backup scripts is serviceable, but not perfect. I have not yet been able to get the calendar to restore properly, but all other data can be restored properly if you follow the proper procedure which is not documented with the scripts.
Keep in mind that these backup are tied to the user ID or whatever its called by zimbra which means if the user account/mailbox is removed then the backup is useless.
A full system backup will allow you to fully restore the server in the event that your machine takes a dump one afternoon, but it is not a great solution if you need to restore one users mailbox from three days ago.
Hope this helps
