Per User Mailbox Backup (OE Version)

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

This is actually *Work in progress*

Scope

This is a solution to backup mails on a user basis for the Open Source Version. It will permit to restore a mailstore for a particular user without having to restore the full /opt/zimbra directory.

It is based on a cold backup method.

Method used

- Backuped user have a specific C.O.S.
- first script connects to ldap server and builds the list of concerned users
- second script loops on the user list and creates a specific sql file with the appropriate commands for a restore

How to use it

This is how I plan to use it :

- stop zimbra - take lvm snapshot - start ldap & mysql services - run the specific scripts for user backup - start zimbra completely - run the backup as usual - close the snapshot
