zmrestore with restoreToTime

[wfweaver]

I'm trying to restore a mailbox to a new account up to a specific time. This is the command I'm using:

zmrestore -a 'jlazarus@kargo.com' -ca -pre 'restored_' -restoreToTime '20071030235959' -s 'mail1.amicusenvoy.com'

This is what it says it is doing:

using restore to time of 2007/10/30 23:59:59 000

HOWEVER, when it restores, the only thing in the new mailbox is everything AFTER that date/time, nothing BEFORE! I've used this before with other accounts and have had no issue with it, but for some reason am having trouble with this one. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or if I've hit some bug or something? Running 4.5.9 Network Edition on RedHat 4.

Can you verify that you're working off the proper full backup with the -lb argument:

zmrestore -s mail1.amicusenvoy.com -a jlazarus@kargo.com -lb full-20071030etc -ca -pre restored -restoreToTime '20071030235959'

I've never given it the full backup filename before and it worked just fine. Do I use the first full after the specified date and it will run up to the time specified or do I use the first full before the date and then let it only do logs up to the time?

This has happened to me before too, but not all the time. Ive never used -lb though.

Before the specified date, fulls after the date wouldn't have the redologs to the prior time.
You already are, but be sure to use -ca -pre restored so you can test what it's going to look like.

adding the -lb works. I would think it should warn you or use a different full backup if it did not have the redo logs you want
