[SOLVED] Backup / Restore with tgz formatter

[iXô]

Hello,

I am using these 2 commands for migrating accounts from server 1 to server 2 (both in the same version) :

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

and

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

But now I want to use the same method for a 'update' operation on the same server for a test from version 5.0.18 to 6RC1

But it seems that the tgz file resulting in the backup on version 5 in not compatible with tgz for version 6 ???

As I can't use imapsync, what other tool I can use ?

Thanks.

PS : sorry, but this post should be in the 'Migration' forum.

Can I just copy the 'store' folder ?

What will I loose if I use this trick ? I read that I may loose 'metadata', ok but what are metadata ?

With this trick, if think that the index is not copied too, is the index can be recreated ? what is it used for ?

And what about the database ? as between v5 et v6 schema as changed, I don't know how to reimport data from the database. Is it really important ?


Thanks.

Here is the ouput that the version 6 gave me for a restoration of a backup of the version 5.0.18 :

Nervermind, I managed to use imapsync finally.
