if you want to make a simple backup, just to insure that your upgrade goes smooth, do this:
/etc/init.d/zimbra stop
ps aux |grep zimbra (to make sure zimbra is fully closed)
cp -av /opt/zimbra /opt/zimbra.backup
then run the upgrade-
if things get hosed, all you should have to do is replace /opt/zimbra with /opt/zimbra.backup
e.g.
/etc/init.d/zimbra stop
mv /opt/zimbra /opt/zimbra.hosed
mv /opt/zimbra.backup /opt/zimbra
/etc/init.d/zimbra start
now, there are other things that the zimbra installer touches outside of /opt/zimbra, like for example cron and init scripts... so this might not be a 100% fix, but it's better then having a hosed email server
