== Prerequisites ==
To enable and use the Zimbra NG Backup Module you'll need:
 
* An active Zimbra Next Generation Modules [[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/License_Management|License]] with Zimbra NG Backup Module enabled.
* The Zimbra Next Generation Modules and the Zimbra Next Generation Modules Admin Zimlet [[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/Installation_Guide|installed]] on a [[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/Compatibility_List|supported version]] of Zimbra.
* Full user rights on the machine:
** Admin access to Zimbra (usually <nowiki>https://myserver.mydomain.tld:7071/</nowiki>).
** Root access to the Operating System.
 
== Getting Started ==
For informations about the First Run of Zimbra NG Backup, please read the [[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/Zimbra_NG_Backup/Initialization|Zimbra NG Backup Initialization]] page.

=== Module integration ===
When starting an import or a restore with Zimbra NG Backup the "Apply HSM Policy" option is available.
 
Enabling this option will force Zimbra NG HSM to apply the HSM policy for each mailbox Zimbra NG Backup is done restoring, so while the restore itself will be completely done on the primary store, as soon as a mailbox is completely restored the proper data will be moved to the secondary store.
 
== Backup Path maintenance ==
==== [[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/Zimbra_NG_Backup/doCoherencyCheck| The "doCoherencyCheck" command]]====
* When a SmartScan is not enough, the "doCoherencyCheck" operation kicks in.

* "Unofficial" guide on how to move a mailbox between two mailbox servers. Use it wisely.

* DOs and DONTs for those who want to remotely store a copy of their Zimbra NG Backup Datastore.
 
==== [[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/Zimbra_NG_HSM/Item_Deduplication|After the Restore: Message Deduplication ]]====
* Save precious disk space after a migration or restore. Easy and smooth.
 
== Zimbra Next Generation Modules Migration Tool ==
====[[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/Zimbra_NG_Backup/Migration_Tool_Export|Export data with Zimbra Next Generation Modules Migration Tool]]====
* Step-by-step guide on how to export your data with the Zimbra Next Generation Modules Migration Tool.
 
====[[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/Zimbra_NG_Backup/Migration_Tool_Import|Import Zimbra Next Generation Modules Migration Tool data with Zimbra NG Backup]]====
* Step-by-step guide on how to import your data with Zimbra NG Backup.
 
== Best Practices ==
* Zimbra official guidelines for Filesystem Performance Tuning apply to Zimbra NG Backup too: [http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Performance_Tuning_Guidelines_for_Large_Deployments#File_System Zimbra Performance Guidelines Filesystem]
* We strongly advice against the use of network shares (or any high access latency solution) as the main Zimbra NG Backup store.
* Need to validate your backup? Check out the [[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/Zimbra_NG_Backup/Backup_Validation|Backup Validation Guide]]
* While accounts are immediatly available for use when an import operation is running, configuring on Zimbra Desktop an account which is still being imported will greatly slow down the restore operation. Please only configure Zimbra Desktop after the import operation is completed.
 
== Known Issues ==
* Due to an issue in Zimbra's date selector, all dates displayed in the restore wizards when logging into the Zimbra Administration Console with an account using the en_GB locale will be nonsensical. Please set the user's locale to en_EN to solve this issue.
* When the "Empty Trash" or "Empty Folder" are used, the account will be flagged as "Dirty" and a Live Full Scan on the account will be triggered at the first restore. This is to prevent data loss due to the implementations of such functions in Zimbra Open Source Edition.
* Emails downloaded via POP3 protocol and deleted from the server during a restore will not be backupped. This problem will be fixed soon.
* GalSync resource accounts and settings are not being restored. If a complete domain is imported, GalSync must be reconfigured and a sync must be forced with the command <br />`''zmgsautil forceSync -a galsync@domain.com -n InternalGAL''`
