The CLI command zmrestore is available only on ZCS Network Edition. For the most recent information on this CLI, including syntax and description, see ZCS Administrator's Guide Network Edition > Appendix A Command-Line Utilities.

ZCS 6.0.x

  • Bug 35278 - Beginning in ZCS 6.0, a new option --skipDeletes has been added to zmrestore. If specified, zmrestore skips over deleted operations during replay.

zmrestore

This tool performs full restores and incremental restores for a designated mail host. You can either specify specific accounts, or, if no accounts are specified, all accounts are in the backup are restored. In addition, you can restore to a specific point in time.

This utility has short option names and full names. The short option is preceded by a single dash, the full option is proceeded by a double dash. For example, -rf is the same as --restorefullBackupOnly.
