Reported by: kharinva@****.com
When you try to execute the restore, the process hangs and nothing happens.
Motive: the functions create_temp was not called by none of the restore activities, and all these functions open the file $TEMPACCOUNT to know which account should be restored.

I need to change the zmbackup to show the correct instructions for each command, as today a lot of info is missing or described wrong.
ISSUE TYPE: Question
ENVIRONMENT VERSION: Zimbra
SUMMARY: Zimbra backup server configuration
Hi,
I am looking for procedure how to backup zimbra server configuration. Do you have ideas how to backup server configuration?
Hello, first of all thanks for the script.
My zimbra version - Release 8.7.11_GA_1854.RHEL7_64_20170531151956 RHEL7_64 FOSS edition.
I ran into strange thing - with total mailbox size 32gb increment backup lasts more than 3 days.
SESSION: inc-20170811020001 started on Fri Aug 11 02:00:03 EEST 2017
SESSION: inc-20170811020001 completed in Mon Aug 14 15:42:11 EEST 2017
At the same time full backup lasts half an hour.
Is it normal?
Hi,
I backup my mailboxes via zmbackup. My zmbackup version is 1.1.6
My backup folder is /mnt/zimbra1/.
But, when I want restore backup to mailbox I get error. It has [email protected] file in /mnt/zimbra1/full-20170809020001
When I use this command: zmbackup -r -m full-20170809020001 [email protected]
Answer: No backup found. Impossible to restore
What am I doing wrong?
Zmbkpose today restore LDAP and Mailbox if the user start a restore process. Zmbackup should do the same thing, but keep the possibility to do separately.
Hi,

Hi,
It is great that you develop zimbra backup system. I have several recommendations:
Zmbackup only stores the files in a folder locally. The script should have a option for you import the backups directly to AWS Glacier, if the client wants.
Create a new parameter for Zmbackup to check the status of all the files and services necessary for it work, like LDAP, Zmmailbox, backup directory access, SQL/TXT file access or if exist, and so goes on.
Hi lucas,
when i try to backup ldap i get an error message that ldap_bkp in line 516 is not implemented.
It looks like that the function is missing in the script.
Incremental backup take backup of any new user is created in zimbra. It does not take the backup of modified data of current user present at the time of Full backup.
Command executed zmbackup -i
Please help me with the solution.
Bellow there are all the bugs found during the tests and that will be needed to fix before the next release.
Document everything done in this project inside the wiki.
Hi,
it seems that MAX_PARALLEL_PROCESS works wrong. If I set this property to 2 it starts 4 parallel processes.
Bellow there are the pages need to be wrote as part of the documentation before the release of Zmbackup 1.2.0
Until now, all the log from zmbackup is stored inside a file called zmbackup.log. From now on the log should be managed by rsyslog, and should show better messages.
We need to validate the script in the new release of Zimbra if it is working with no problem.
Create log level for each message to turn Zmbackup less verbose if needed
I setup the new 1.2 version.
zmbackup -f backup the ldap (ldiff) but creating an empty tgz mailbox dump. It does not wrote any error log, just not working. Any help about this.?
Every login credentials is valid.
Hi,
It seems that house keep - zmbhousekeep could not be started from cron, bebause in /etc/cron.d/zmbackup.cron house keep script is named as zmhousekeep. Could you replace zmhousekeep with zmbhousekeep
Some peoples find annoying the fact that you can only backup if the script is running in the same server that should be backed up. Modify the script to don't have this dependency.
If SQLITE3 is active, if you try to remove an backup a lot of warn messages is showed
zmbackup -d full-20180407132949
Removing session full-20180407132949 - please wait.
Backup session full-20180407132949 removed.

Zmbackup restore doesn't work in SQLITE3 mode. When you try to execute the following message appears:

There is a error inside the logic behind the Incremental Backup, where if no full backup exist, one should be done. But it does a full backup of all accounts, not only the asked one. The correct behavior is check if the account that should be made an incremental backup has a full backup, if not do an incremental in place.
Zmbackup only exclude the backup you ask to remove, not rotate them. Zmbkpose had the option, but never works. You should implement a new way to rotate the backups with the same options present in zmbkpose, plus the one implemented in the client ViaSoft.
The backup should be stored inside a SQLite file for better management and security. The old TXT file (sessions.txt) will be discontinued because the logic behind the zmbackup is growing, and storing inside a file make difficult to bring some new features.
zmbackup uses an admin account with full access. The correct is this account have only the necessary to access the SOAP API for mailbox download and upload.
The Thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/zmbackup/Goa9eEUKSvc
Create a way to disable partially or all the e-mails send by Zmbackup.
Create an Ansible script to install Zmbackup and host inside Ansible Galaxy for anyone who wants to install.
If an account fail to backup because some problem in Zimbra API, or because the mailbox is empty, the zmbackup does not register as a successful backup, even if the ldiff file was created.
I am not sure Incremental backups not working
zmbackup -i
Running the Incremental Backup - Please wait...
WARN: [email protected] already has backup today. Nothing to do.
Nothing to do..
Tried with account name as well : It's not working.
** Thanks for your great effort **
Recreate all the tests for Travis CI validate if Zmbackup script is okay (installer and the main code)
Change all the error codes for Zmbackup because today they are a mess.
There are a lot of bugs for CentOS 6, mostly that the script doesn't work very well for the OS. I need to test the script and fix all the bugs that is occuring in this version of the OS before the next release.
A better way to handle the error messages for the file zmbackup.conf having not all the variables informed.
Mail report wasn't being send after the end of the backup routine.
Question
I am doing a test with Zimbra OSE 8.8.6 installed on CentOS 6.9. It is configured properly and working fine. I have installed Zmbackup (version 1.2.0, release candidate 2) after downloading from Github for mail account backup. It is also doing it's backup work properly without any failure.
Problem is arising when I am trying to restore any account from the full backup. Whenever I am trying to restore any ldap information it is doing properly(perhaps as no error message is there) but when I am trying to restore the mail account( with "-m" option) it is giving error message as follows -
[zimbra@mail2 ~]$ zmbackup -r -ldp full-20180217170655 [email protected]
Restore LDAP process with session full-20180217170655 started at Tue Feb 27 13:12:53 IST 2018

Restore mail process with session full-20180217170655 started at Tue Feb 27 13:14:15 IST 2018
Error during the restore process for account [email protected]. Error message below:
[email protected]: /bin/bash: http: command not found
Restore mail process with session full-20180217170655 completed at Tue Feb 27 13:14:15 IST 2018
Please note, the server I am restoring to is a different server(mail2.sailrmd.co.in) from the source server(mail1.sailrmd.co.in).
During the install process, the wget is ignored by the process install and the storage is not removed during the uninstall.
Today, zmbackup use the file session.txt as a way to store the backup's history. This file is susceptible to failures and zmbackup only use this file because zmbkpose used before the fork. Now, that this application is restructured, is a good time to study a better way to store this log.
Two good candidates are MariaDB and PostgreSQL.
Dear Sir,
I have successfull taken eh full backup of zimbra using zmbackup -f command.
The new zimbra machine is ready and trying to restore the backup using zmbackup -r. But the error comes "Error! Incorrect options" Please let me know the option that i need to include to restore the full backup.
If something kills the process, or you stop the process in the middle of the execution, when you start zmbackup again, it will create a new backup session for the rest of the accounts. The correct is the script complete the previous backup, rather than create a new one and stay with two different folders for the same process.

Feature Idea
ENVIRONMENT VERSION
Zmbackup Version: 1.2.0 RC2
Zimbra Version: any
Linux Distribution & Version: any
SUMMARY
At the moment, the command zmbackup -f realize a full backup routine to all accounts. The new feature this a option to backup only active accounts.
Hey Lucas,
I'm trying do a backup, but when I run the command, I have this issue, DNS SRV: out of memory?.
[zimbra@webmail ~]$ zmbackup -f user@domain
Running the Full Backup - Please wait...
DNS SRV: out of memory?
Backup finished!
[zimbra@webmail ~]$ zmbackup -v
zmbackup version: 1.1.4
How can I fix it? Do I need to do any different configuration when I run the wizard?
P.S.: I did the installation process without change any option.
Thanks.
Hi,
You could add users mail filter backup. I wrote simple script to do it
cat /backups/zmigrate/filters-export.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -x
clear
echo “Retrieve zimbra user name…”
USERS=cat /backups/zmigrate/emails.txt;
for ACCOUNT in $USERS; do
NAME=echo $ACCOUNT;
filter=su – zimbra -c “zmprov ga $NAME zimbraMailSieveScript” > /tmp/$NAME
sed -i -e “1d” /tmp/$NAME
sed ‘s/zimbraMailSieveScript: //g’ /tmp/$NAME > /backups/zmigrate/filters/$NAME;
rm /tmp/$NAME
echo “Export filter for $NAME…”
done
echo “All filter has been export successfully”
And script for import filters:
#!/bin/bash
set -x
for file in /backups/zmigrate/filters/*
do
StrFilter=cat “$file”
Acc=$file
su – zimbra -c “zmprov ma $(echo $file | grep -E -o “\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+.[A-Za-z]{2,6}\b”) zimbraMailSieveScript ‘$StrFilter'”
echo “Process filter $Acc”
done
echo “All filter has been import successfully”
ISSUE TYPE
Feature Idea
ENVIRONMENT VERSION
Zmbackup Version: Any
Zimbra Version: Any
Linux Distribution & Version: Any
SUMMARY
New feature to backup and restore to a specific domain only.
The zmbackup -l now only shows size and type. Other informations, like quantity and time, should be displayed.
At the moment, the install.sh check if the command zmbackup -v has an output different from the version you trying to install. The correct should be update only if the version is higher than the one installed in your server.
zmbackup only does one backup per day. I need to create a --force option to override this limitation if the user want to do another backup in the same day.
