1) Move Zimbra install from 1 production server to another. Apart form installing Zimbra on new server what we need to do to Backup/copy existing one and Restore on New Target Server |
If the hostname is the same, and the OS matches. You an just move /opt/zimbra everything lives under there. Assuming you've done at least an install on the new box to configure things like iptables(which by the way will not be needed in the next release)

Any insight is greatly appreciated

There are really 4 main things that have state: messages, indexes, ldap, and mysql. So a quick backup would be take a copy of the message and index data, then do a mysql and ldap dump. You must stop the server to make these backups since everything must remain in sync.
A guide to the directory structure is here:
