It hopefully takes a full backup of Carbonio. But it works on old Zimbra, NOT TESTED with Carbonio.

Restoring on old Zimbra you just took the full tar file and restored it to /opt/zimbra and then installed Zimbra.

If you have the full directory and the LDAP backup (with mdb_copy) of a Carbonio installation can you install Carbonio after restoring the files to /opt/zextras ?

backup-full-carbonio.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Run as root
datevar=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`

# Destination folder. In this example /opt/backups/zextras
mybakdir="/opt/backups/zextras/${datevar}"
mkdir -p $mybakdir
mkdir -p $mybakdir/ldap_bak

# Copy everything but not LDAP
rsync --delete -aHK --exclude 'data.mdb' /opt/zextras $mybakdir

# Backup LDAP
/opt/zextras/common/bin/mdb_copy /opt/zextras/data/ldap/mdb/db $mybakdir/ldap_bak

# Stop Carbonio and backup the locked files
su - zextras -c "/opt/zextras/bin/zmcontrol stop"
/bin/sync

rsync --delete -aHK --exclude 'data.mdb' /opt/zextras $mybakdir

# Start Carbonio and move create a tar file. In this example to /mnt/smb/zextras/
su - zextras -c "/opt/zextras/bin/zmcontrol start"
tar -cf /mnt/smb/zextras/zextras-${datevar}.tar ${mybakdir}

Hi @jdavasco,

No Carbonio CE does not have an integrated backup system. Such functionalities as a restore and backup system, high availability, and advanced storage management are only available in Zextras Carbonio, a different product specially designed for large-scale enterprises.

If only Carbonio comes with backup/restore and Carbonio CE does NOT, then how do we migrate from Zimbra to Carbonio?

You need some way to move your data into Cabronio CE.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

We will eventually prepare some articles and documentations about migrations to Carbonio CE Ricci will be available for users,  but today our main focus is to complete different components and rigorously test Carbonio CE.

You need some way to move your data into Cabronio CE.

Thanks,

Daniel

Or is it possible to buy some "zextras suite (backup, chat, mobility, HSM) for carbonio CE ?

it is not clear what carbonio CE will provide/support as admin tools.

please clarify this point.
