Backup and Resotre ZCS Open 7.2.1 on Ubunt 10.04

[rafael.xapa]

Hello,

I'm trying to back up the Zimbra server, but it still fails. I tested several backup scripts, but the restore errors happen.

I'm following these steps:

zimbrabackup

#!/bin/bash

/etc/init.d/zimbra stop

rm -Rf /opt/backup/dados/*

mkdir /opt/backup/dados/
mkdir /opt/backup/dados/zimbra
mkdir /opt/backup/dados/zimbra/data
mkdir /opt/backup/dados/zimbra/db

cp -Rp /opt/zimbra/db/data /opt/backup/dados/zimbra/db
cp -Rp /opt/zimbra/index /opt/backup/dados/zimbra
cp -Rp /opt/zimbra/store /opt/backup/dados/zimbra
cp -Rp /opt/zimbra/data/ldap /opt/backup/dados/zimbra/data

/etc/init.d/zimbra start

cd /opt/backup/dados/
tar -cf zimbra.tar zimbra/
gzip -9 zimbra.tar

AND zimbrarestore

/etc/init.d/zimbra stop

mv /opt/zimbra/db/data/mysql /opt/zimbra/db/
rm -Rf /opt/zimbra/db/data
rm -Rf /opt/zimbra/index
rm -Rf /opt/zimbra/store
rm -Rf /opt/zimbra/data/ldap

cp -Rp /opt/backup/dados/zimbra/index /opt/zimbra
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/index/
cp -Rp /opt/backup/dados/zimbra/store /opt/zimbra
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/store/
cp -Rp /opt/backup/dados/zimbra/db/data /opt/zimbra/db
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/db/data/
cp -Rp /opt/backup/dados/zimbra/data/ldap /opt/zimbra/data
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/

rm -Rf /opt/zimbra/db/data/mysql
mv /opt/zimbra/db/mysql /opt/zimbra/db/data
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/db/

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms

/etc/init.d/zimbra start

Something wrong?

Yes, the usual answer to this questions is: there a problem with your DNS A & MX records or the /etc/hosts file. Go to the Split DNS and check the setting by running all the commands in the 'Verify...' section. Did you also read some of the wiki (and forum/blog) articles on how to backup and restore a Zimbra server? You can also check the log files for any further errors. What exactly are you trying to do with this procedure?

[rafael.xapa]

Yes, I tested various backup scripts, but all did not work.

What I did:

Two servers installed Ubuntu 10.04 and the same version of Zimbra. (identical)

Server 1:
- I created email accounts and recorded some data.

- Run the zimbrabackup (above)

- Download the tar.gz file to the server 2

- Run the zimbrarestor (above) to test the server 01. And zimbra functioned normally.

Server 2:

- Run the zimbrarestore (above)

And the errors appeared (code)



I'm trying backup script.

The implied question in what I posted above about the Split DNS is:...... is the hostname and DNS A & MX records the same for the new server? You also didn't answer the question about what exactly you're trying to do with this procedure?

[rafael.xapa]

Yes, they are equal .. the ips, password, dns, hostname, all.

Servers 1 and 2 are for testing. I have a Zimbra server in the air, because I need to do a backup of the data.

Why not make life easy:

Backup:
rsync -avHK --delete /opt/zimbra/ /backup/zimbra
su - zimbra -c"/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol stop"
ORPHANED=`ps -u zimbra -o "pid="` && kill -9 $ORPHANED
rsync -avHK --delete /opt/zimbra/ /backup/zimbra
su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start"

Restore:
Replace /opt/zimbra

Not my script:
Open Source Edition Backup Procedure - Zimbra :: Wiki
scroll down to: 'A Simple Shell Script Method'

I'm using this script with little adjustments for my needs. Server is down for no longer then 5 minutes each night.

[rafael.xapa]

i'll try ur script.

You do not use the fixperms?

[Tripple]

No. I'm just running the script for backup and will follow the right procedure to restore if necessary.

Note that I only posted parts of my script of course!

[rafael.xapa]

Humm, this is my problem: restore.

When restore backup, many problems happen.

Anyway, thank you!

[Tripple]

You know the right procedure to restore?

Make a clean install of the same Zimbra version
Shutdown Zimbra
Delete /opt/zimbra
Restore from backup
Startup Zimbra
