Hello,
I am trying to migrate from zimbra 7.x to 8.0.6. OS = 8.04 to 12.04, both X64, on separate VM's
Zextras version is 1.8.12
Chrome browser 32.0.1700.107m is being used.
I have a remote disk on a third VM that I attached with NFS to the source machine
I managed to perform the export migration without much trouble. Something to note is that the target export directory must be *completely* empty. Delete the Lost+found directory if it exists.
I have detached the remote disk from the source machine and attached to the target machine.
On the target installation (8.0.6) the backup path is set to /opt/zimbra/backup/. The target machine has been backing up it's admin account to this directory for a couple of weeks.
The remote disk is attached to:
/opt/zimbra/backup/zextras/
As user zimbra on the target machine, when in the directory of /opt/zimbra/backup/zextras/, I can touch a file, modify it's contents, and delete it. indicating to me that user zimbra has r/w access.
On the target machine, from within the admin console, I navigate to the Zextras menu, select ZxBackup, click the Import Backup button.
It asks for a Source Path.
I enter:
/opt/zimbra/backup/zextras/
Click next and a dialog box pops up "Please select a valid import path."
Very similar to this guy

My zextras/ directory is noboby:nobody but has permissions of drwxrwxrwx
I believe this is a permissions issue, but I can't figure it out.
Must the source import directory be specifically owned by zimbra:zimbra?
