Restore single user zimbra Open source 5.0.10

[alligadas]

Hello, I'm a IT manager and we have wrongly deleted a user, now im looking for the options i can chose and don't know whats the best can i do, i readed a lots of posts but not really sure witch real options i have.


the only way its restore a full backup? i only have weekly full backup from the server.

as i read the only option is restoring the full backup in new installation and export the user?

That would be the only option, I'd suggest you don't attempt this on your live production server (I guess that's what you mean by 'new installation'?). There is a thread in the forums that has a script for backup/restore of individual accounts and you may want to investigate that after you've recovered this account.

as new instalation i mean new and diferent server without doing nothing on the live before i have exported the account with a undestandable format for my live server thats right? i readed some about this

grep -m1 <numbre cuenta> `find -mtime -<dias de recuperacion> -iname "*.msg"`|awk -F: '{print $1}'

2- Por cada fichero tendrás que ejecutar algo asi:
zmmailbox -z -m <direccion de correo> addMessage /Inbox <fichero msg a recuperar>



this 2 commands will work with a deleted account?

on your lab server with full bkp run:

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com getRestURL “//?fmt=tgz” > /tmp/account.tgz


then copy with scp.. to your production server and run :

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com postRestURL “//?fmt=tgz&resolve=modify” /tmp/account.tgz
