I am newbie in linux. I am recently trying to backup zimbra mail server for making a backup server by rsync tool. I am copying /opt/zimbra folder but it is always giving errors. I am using rsync -avzHS ssh /opt/zimbra root@16.3.8.98:/opt/zimbra. I need to know which folders and which not I need to backup for making a backup server.

You can use zimbra instruments to do the backup as it is described here:

full backup:

zmbackup -f -s server1.domain.com -a all -t /path/to/backup

incremental backup:

zmbackup -i -s server1.domain.com -a all -t /path/to/backup

The usual reason you can't do it with rsync is because some files are open from zimbra processes.

  • Thanks a lot. But zmbackup is not included in the latest zimbra collaboration suite software. Is there any other way I can do backup? – Hasan Zafrul Sep 08 '22 at 11:47
  • @HasanZafrul, in such case you should buy Zimbra Collaboration Backup & Restore Tool or Zimbra Backup Plus – Romeo Ninov Sep 08 '22 at 12:03
