[SOLVED] Zimbra Disaster Recovery directory problem

[Chadsel Chen]

Dear Friends,

When I tried to follow the wiki guide to restore offline - Network Edition Disaster Recovery - Zimbra :: Wiki
The step - zmrestoreoffline -sys -a all -c -br gave me the following errors.

[zimbra@ms01 ~]$ zmrestoreoffline -sys -a all -c -br
Error occurred: Invalid backup target: Backup target does not exist: /opt/zimbrabakup

2008-11-12 21:43:44,769 WARN [main] [] backup - Error during restore
com.zimbra.cs.backup.BackupServiceException: Invalid backup target: Backup target does not exist: /opt/zimbrabakup

If I put a symbolic link from /opt/zimbra/backup -> /opt/zimbrabakup, it works. But I want to correct this.

Is this data in DB somewhere I can correct?

Regards,
Chadsel

Thank for Zimbra support.

The 'zimbrabakup' thing is the result of a typo in an earlier version of the ZCS software. You can avoid it by adding '-t /opt/zimbra/backup' to your zmrestoreoffline command. The symlink should be okay too.
