Sometimes I think life would be much better if I didnt have to work for a living!

I can say that I tried running the script with the destination folder set to a mount point residing on a windows 2003 server, so that the backup would be off the zimbra server as soon as possible - it seemed to work but responded with an "rsync failed" message right near the end.

I'm thinking that tar'ing the folder up locally and then rsync or other copy method to another server would be more reliable, but again, not had time to check it out.
Dirk,

Yes, I will add this feature of TARing and FTPing the backup. I will also try to add a cron for 10 mins after backup so life is easier for all.

Will probably work this Sunday and get it done.

Thank-you very much for your help,
