The best way to backup/restore on ZCS 6.0

[Samp]

Hi,

What is the best way to backup and restore the Zimbra database ?

For others customers servers we use BackupPC on Debian, is it possible to backup and restore an individual user in Zimbra with this kind of backup system ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

It would be helpful if you included your version. The NE edition has it's own backup utility, but your post has no indication of your version or edition.

Ok, I read all what I found on backup/restore on this forum and this link too but nothing on per user data backup/restore. At this time on our IMAP systems (Courier, Dovecot) we backup (BackupPC rsync) all the users MailDir and we are able to restore a single or severals deleted mails.

The problem with a nightly global ZimbraDir backup is if we restore the entire /opt/zimbra from last backup we loose all the recent of the day mails/data.

Is it a way to restore a per user mails/data from a global backup ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
