[SOLVED] Multiple folder created in migration time (postRestURL)

[jayarajmohan]

I am using postRestURL method of restoring, My script is pasted below.

While i am restoring mails, Inbox , sent and all folders created repeated times, If number of mails in a folder exceeds 500 mails na, it will create inbox!1 , then if inbox!1 is full with 500 mails, its again create inbox!2 its going on. The same for all folders (sent,etc.,).

How can I fix this problem,

Script :

#!/bin/bash
ZHOME=/opt/zimbra
#!/bin/bash
ZHOME=/opt/zimbra
ZBACKUP=$ZHOME/backup/mailbox
#ZBACKUP=/opt/backup_restore/mailbox
ZCONFD=$ZHOME/conf
DATE=`date +"%a"`
#ZDUMPDIR=$ZBACKUP/$DATE
ZDUMPDIR=$ZBACKUP
ZMBOX=/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox
if [ ! -d $ZDUMPDIR ]; then
echo "Backups do not exist !"
exit 255;
fi
for mbox in `zmprov -l gaa`
do
#       echo " Restoring files from backup $mbox ..."
#echo "$mbox"

if [ "$mbox" == "test@test.com" ]
then
  echo " Restoring files from backup $mbox ..."
  $ZMBOX -z -m $mbox postRestURL "//?fmt=zip&resolve=skip" $ZDUMPDIR/$mbox.zip
fi

#$ZMBOX -z -m $mbox postRestURL "//?fmt=zip&resolve=reset" $ZDUMPDIR/$mbox.zip
done

Please guide us ...

Thanks ...

Is anybody face this problem, ?

Repeated creation of inbox as inbox!1, inbox!2, etc., sent!1, sent!2, etc., If any of this folder exceeds 500 mails, it will be created one more folder as next number.

I am using the above script for restoring the mails. please gude us to solve this ? we should be keep all mails in same folder as such in existing server.

I would guess not but 4hrs is rather a short time to wait for an answer. I'll also move this to the correct forum as it's nothing to do with Migration and you other question was nothing to do with Zimbra Desktop (I've also moved that).

You haven't given much detail about what you did to backup your server nor where you're getting the email from when you do the 'restore'. Why are you doing it this way, are you following some backup method provided in the forums?

Now I found problem is in backup itself.

I have extract my backup folder. In that as well, many folder created named as inbox, inbox!1, inbox!1!1 , inbox!2 , etc.,

I was used zip format for backup, now i changed to tgz format. again the same problem.

What will be solution for this ?

after unzip that folder :

Briefcase Contacts.meta HMIS Junk.meta Openbravo - Training python.meta Tasks
Briefcase.meta Conversations HMIS.meta KGiSL Metropolis Openbravo - Training.meta resources Tasks.meta
Calendar Conversations.meta Inbox KGiSL Metropolis.meta OpenLDAP resources.meta Trash.meta

hi phoenix,

Any response from zimbra team for this problem ?

[jayarajmohan]

We wrote a cell script to solve this problem. We moved all unwanted folder like inbox!1 and !2 to actual inbox folder. then delete unwanted folders. Again we zip the folder then its cleared

Thanks..
