Live Backup For Zimbra FOSS Edition

The one of weakness on zimbra FOSS edition is there’s no backup feature. Backup feature is only available for Zimbra Network Edition.

I’ve made a bash script to do a zimbra live backup for FOSS Edition. This script has been made based on this reference and this one

There are no rsync and ssh in this script, but I think we can modifying and merging this script with other scripts from the wiki page.

The goal is to do a remotely synchronization using rsync, ssh and “live” backup for zimbra open source edition.

#!/bin/bash
### START CONFIGURATION ###
DIR="/tmp/zimbra";
OUTPUT="/tmp/zimbra";
### END OF CONFIGURATION ###

USERS=`su - zimbra -c 'zmprov gaa'`;
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`;

if [ ! -d $DIR ]; then mkdir $DIR; chown zimbra:zimbra $DIR; fi

for ACCOUNT in $USERS; do
NAME=`echo $ACCOUNT | awk -F@ '{print $1}'`;
su - zimbra -c "zmmailbox -z -m $ACCOUNT getRestURL '//?fmt=tgz' > $DIR/$NAME.tgz";
done
cd $DIR; mkdir $DATE; mv *.tgz $DATE
tar cjpf $OUTPUT/$DATE.tar.bz2 $DATE;
cd $DIR; rm -rf $DATE
