[SOLVED] rsync permision denied

[get2guy]

Hi all.

I am trying to run a backup using this article
Moving ZCS to New Server - Zimbra :: Wiki

I have the open version of zimbra so i used the one at the bottom of that guide.

at the point of running the command
# rsync -avHK /opt/zimbra /opt/zimbra.bak

i get this errors:

zimbra@mail:/root$ rsync -avHK /opt/zimbra /opt/zimbra.bak

Why I'm getting this errors?

Info on what i did:

a. I'm using root to run "zimbra" user
b. I ran "zmcontrol stop" to stop all services
c. I didn't follow the step of checking if no zimbra process is running if so kill that process. How can i do it?

Can someone help?

Thanks in advanced.

Regards
Guy

try resetting the file permissions for zimbra and check again

run the following as "root" user

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms --verbose --extended
