First of all you please update your forum profile with details on which version/edition of ZCS you have been using.

For your query, search wiki and forums, you shall find a lot stuffs. If you are on ZCS FOSS, you may check this too: Per User Backup for FOSS edition

hi yves,

thanks a lot for your help and information.
notice that the command doesn't restore the calendar.
Is there a way to include to backup and restore a calendar?
How about script to backup and restore all users?

Here is a script I wrote to backup all mailboxes and scp to remove server will need to be run as zimbra user and you will need to setup id_rsa.pub keys on remove machine for password-less scp transfer

#!/bin/bash

# Zimbra Mailbox Backup #
# By: Jason Pereira #
# Date: 9-20-2011 #
#################################
rm -rf /tmp/boxbackup/*
zmaccts | grep "@" | awk '{print $1}' > /tmp/user.txt
user=( `cat "/tmp/user.txt" ` )
date=`date -I`
for i in "${user[@]}"
do
eval "zmmailbox -z -m $i getRestURL "//?fmt=tgz" > /tmp/boxbackup/$date.$i.tgz"
wait
done
scp /tmp/boxbackup/* 192.168.2.200:/home/zimbra

If you want to back up both your /opt/zimbra directory _and_ have per-user backups, without duplicating data store backup in each, you can use [SOLVED] Yet Another Backup Script for Community Version. This script uses the script at the start of that thread to rsync /opt/zimbra, then creates LDAP and MySQL dumps for individual users.
