Default Zimbra Open Source Backup Help

Hello frends,

I am new to zimbra. I have Fedora core 7 live and running and working zimbra Open source latest edition. Now I want to backup whole zimbra to another system. For this i found such scripts for zimbra Open source backup.

But can u suggest which script is best for me and also tested as per my Linux distro?

and another question is if there is possible for live synchronizing of zimbra open source?

i found Scripts to sync to a remote Zimbra backup machine - Zimbra :: Wiki
this. Is this working and LIVE synchronize is advisable?

Please help would be really appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

All of the scripts are community supplied and one can assume they've been tested by the original authors. Your best option will be to try each of the scripts and see which one suits your needs, don't forget you'll also need to run a restore to test your disaster recovery procedures. You'll also find some details in the forums on backup/restore scripts, please search for them.

This is not a live sync as it is based on a cronjob so you could potentially loose some emails if the primary server was to fail. If you wanted online backups you would need to purchase the NE version of ZCS.

Default Found Script

I found a Backup Script for this. It works for me. But problem is when I enable FTP/SCP, the script cannot run. Can you please see this script and solve my problem.

When run this script after enable FTP/SCP. Error shows
"expect command is missing, this is required for file transfer options, script exiting..."

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# This script will do various backups of Zimbra depending on wich you choose,
# most of them are cold backups except the msg backup which hot copies the 'store'
# folder for possible individual mail retrival. Be sure to change the variables below
# to point to where you got the zimbra folder and where you want it to be backed up to.
#
# This script must be run as root or a user with equal privileges or it will not work.
#
# Usage: ZimBackup.sh full	- For full backup (Cold)
#	 ZimBackup.sh diff	- For diffrential backup (Cold)
#	 ZimBackup.sh msgfull	- For complete message backup (Hot)
#	 ZimBackup.sh msgdiff	- For diffrential message backup (Hot)
#
# When you run this script via crontab be sure to add '> /dev/null 2>&1' at the end
# of the script like below or the tar command will fail for no apparent reason.
# 00 12 * * * ZimBackup.sh full > /dev/null 2>&1
#
# As of 2008-04-16 this script uses some extra software to extend this script,
# the scripts standard function will still function without these extra softwares but if you
# intend to use this scripts built in file transfer functions you must install the described software below.
#
# Required software: expect & any software dependencies for this package.
#
# Bits and pieces was adopted from a script created by Daniel W. Martin, 9 Sept 2007

Thanx a lot for your quick reply.

Now its working. But one thing is, when ever backup archieve is created, old archieve is also exists. So there is a way to delete old archieve after creating new archieve?


Again Thank you very much, it is really appreciated.

You will either need to modify the script or setup a cronjob to do it. This is really not a issue for Zimbra as it is a community supplied script. You would be better contacting the author.
