I want to migrate my Zimbe 6.0.7 (running on debian 5.0.10) to a new machine and try to export a domain with ZxMig. After a while (between 2 and 30 min) the export crashes. In the notifications I see a warning „... backup path not initialized“ and at the same time there is an error „...operation interrupted abnormally“
Since this happened a few times, I suppose these two things are tied together.

The details given with the error-message don´t help me either:
-- Operation Details --
Name: Export
Start Time: 31/03/2015 11:52:07
Operation Id: c09c041f-b3c0-46ed-8e3c-deda7a577af2
Requested By: admin@jupiter2.ow.bfi-bgld.at

-- Parameters --
backupDirectory = com.zextras.backup.v2.BackupStoreAccessorImpl@21f741
The details in the warning about the backup path being not initialized say that it might be unmounted, but since I try to export to an directory on the same disc, that cant be.
It is not possible to initialize like said in ZxBackup: Initialization - ZeXtras Suite Wiki , because I don´t have the „Backup Tab“ in the Admin console.

The details from „export started“ are:
Operation Export Started.

The logfile only contains:

Here http://forums.zextras.com/zextras-migration-tool/1121-migration-new-server-clarifiations.html I found message #2, which says …...
1) if you check the incremental migration guide you'll find that with zxbackup you can "update" your export directory with a simple Smart Scan operation after the backup/export initialization, while with zxmig you should close all zimbra services from users without stopping the mailboxd service (for example with some firewall rules).

Since I cannot stop the server at the moment, I wanted to know if this could cure my problem, or if I have to search for annother reason.

BTW: Do you have special pricing for educational, non profit organisations?
