Hi LaFong

The host / dns / ip OS version is same as my previous. I have successfully restored.

OS SLES 11 sp2 x64
zcs-7.2.0_GA_2669.SLES11_64.20120410001942

step.
Configuration same as previous server.
Install zimbra same version as previous.
zmcontrol stop.
rename /opt/zimbra_new
create /opt/zimbra
restore from backup using dar -x /tmp/15_ZimbraBackup_20120515_FULL -w -R /opt/zimbra
after restore.
zmcontrol start

zimbra@mail0:~> zmcontrol start
Host mail0.example.com
Starting ldap...Done.

Hi Folks,

HOw can I email that /var/log/zim_backup.log file directly to one of user Inbox. Since the script is written for Ubuntu the same stuff is not working for CentOS however I tried couple of other options with mail and mailx but in vain.

Any help would be appreciated.

[liverpoolfcfan]

Try the commands below to identify the user.

sudo su - zimbra
source ~/bin/zmshutil ; zmsetvars
ldapsearch -x -H ldap://"$HOSTNAME" -D "$zimbra_ldap_userdn" -w "$zimbra_ldap_password" '(&(objectClass=zimbraAccount)(zimbraId=fbd258fb-f8c8-461e-84fa-754d642b5f21))'

That worked great thanks.

I learned something else new about the zimbra innards as a result. This was a mailbox that had been created but had not yet received any emails. Seems zimbra only assigns the mailbox number and group number after the user first logs in.

Seems you have an old version of that script. I did fix that issue, shown below. The latest version is at zmDBbac.sh

# : 0.5 alpha:
# - Automatically have Zimbra create a user's DB, if it doesn't exist (optional).
# - Alternately, log users who lack a DB, if AUTOCREATE_DB is set to "no".
# - Comment and text output changes for more clarity
# - Standardized script indentation
# : 0.6 alpha:
# - Fixed issue with hard coded path to skeleton.sql

Don't just write you solved the problem. Tell us how you did it and what you found out the problem was. Doing so you might help others with same problem. That's what forum is about.

Hi !

It seems the zmbak_v.0.8.sh script can't be installed following the default instructions on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with zimbra 8.

The problem is with "mailx" as mta-dummy_1.0_all.deb conflicts with zimbra.

cat: /opt/zimbra/backup.week: No such file or directory

'mailx' is not installed!

For a Howto install mailx without postfix please visit the link below
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/administrators/13528-sending-email-comand-line-logwatch-ubuntu-6-06-a.html#post70636

Should I try install this for you?

!! Only say yes if you are running Ubuntu!!

Does anybody know how to escape this problem, or should I just ignore mailx, install all the other required packages and disable mail sending in the script ??

Thanks !

Just curious to know if the said script is tested with Zimbra 8.0? Or was there any recent version rolled out?

Please confirm.

Hi all,


Got the User Backup script (zmDBbac.sh) up and running via the provided instructions... works like a charm. Now I'd like to test the restore methods but I'm having either severe brain damage or this is just a bit over my head.... or both.

Can someone please explain to me the steps to restore a user that has been deleted? I have been trying to follow the instructions, (3. Restore the user's message store to /opt/zimbra/store/#/12,)... what, just create the deleted directory again? Then, (4. Restore the user's index to /opt/zimbra/index/#/12,) create this directory again also? If yes, I'm on track... but then (5. Place the user's .sql and .ldif backup files in the same directory.) where do I find these? Ya see I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Please help!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Ron
