Zimbra backup (with DB, LDAP, etc) - is /opt directory enough to a full backup?

[robertomedula]

Hi Everyone.

Is that enough to make a full Zimbra system backup - including emails - make a copy of /opt/zimbra directory?

I know I have to shutdown the service.

My big concern is if that procedure will contemplate database data (MySQL, LDAP, etc) and user's email.

I've seen a lot of script in the Internet, but that seems only for the zimbra application.

Could someone indicates me a good one?

Assuming you are talking about Zimbra OSS Version:
please follow any of the method which works to your liking from the wiki
Open Source Edition Backup Procedure - Zimbra :: Wiki

* best backup is which you can restore...so when you choose a method please make sure you know its works and it restores you 100%

Yes..taking a COLD BACKUP of everything (given the fact you do it right) in /opt/zimbra folder will give you 100% good backup
