I'm using the this script for backing up (the simple Simple Shell Script Method)
Open Source Edition Backup Procedure - Zimbra :: Wiki
I wanted to test a restore, so I setup a a new Linux server and installed the same version of ZCS: Release 6.0.6_GA_2324.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition.
Identical installation on the new server, the only different things were the server IP address and maybe password for the admin user. No problem during the installation.
The new installation works correctly.
Then, for the restore:
I stopped ZCS, and followed these steps (mail.backup.tgz is my backup):
mv /opt/zimbra /opt/zimbra-old
mkdir /opt/zimbra
tar zxvf /var/tmp/mail.backup.tgz -C /opt/zimbra
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms
This the result, after rebboting the server:
antispam Stopped
zmmtaconfigctl is not running
zmamavisdctl is not running
antivirus Stopped
zmmtaconfigctl is not running
zmamavisdctl is not running
zmclamdctl is not running
ldap Stopped
logger Stopped
zmlogswatchctl is not running
mailbox Stopped
zmmtaconfigctl is not running.
mysql.server is not running.
zmmailboxdctl is not running.
mta Stopped
zmmtaconfigctl is not running
postfix is not running
zmsaslauthdctl is not running
snmp Stopped
zmswatch is not running.
stats Stopped
What could have gone wrong?
This procedure has worked for me several times, the only difference this time was that I used a differente IP address and maybe a different admin password. Could this be the problem or my backup was bad?
Of course things always work in a test environment, then stop to work in a production environment ...
Help!
