Copy everybody's contacts to the back-up installation.

[tkoop]

Hi everyone.

We are using Zimbra, and we want to copy over everyone's contact list to our off-site data-recovery location, which also has Zimbra installed and running. It is not a "sync". It is just copying over (and maybe removing what got removed).

Any ideas? I think the zmmailbox is the command to use, but how exactly? Do I have to log in on the remote site to run a local command there, or can I push everything there from my main server here?

Thanks a lot!

As far as I can tell, these two commands will retrieve a list of contacts from the local system, and them push them to the remote system.

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -u https://localhost -a admin -p *adminpassword* -m tkoop@example.com getRestURL "/Contacts" > "contacts.tmp"

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -u https://1.2.3.4 -p *timspassword* -m tkoop postRestURL "/Contacts?resolve=replace" "contacts.tmp"


However, it doesn't work. It actually pushes the list back to the local system, effectively duplicating the list of contacts. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks.

Tim,

I have the exact same issue that I've been trying to resolve for quite a while now. No matter what resolve value I use, "skip", "reset", "replace", or "modify", none of them seem to do anything and the contacts are duplicated. Even when I omit the declaration, "skip", which is the default, still doesn't seem to work. I've tried other things like changing the case of "contacts" or "resolve", but still nothing.

Is this a bug? I haven't been able to find any reference to anyone else having this problem, but it appears to exist in some form, at least when importing contacts for an individual user in my case.
