Hello happy people,
we are currently evaluating ZxBackup (or rather the whole suite) as a solution for both backup and desaster recovery.
The first test and failure on our end, I suspect is using ZxBackup to do a server migration.
On the old server we installed ZxSuite and ran the initial backup, transfered the data to the new server and tried to `doExternalRestore`. This didn't do much on the new server…
As the old server needs to run in parallel we are unable to recreate the exact configuration (as is described here: Zx Backup: Disaster Recovery - ZeXtras Suite Wiki ).
As such, MX records for instance shouldn't point to this new server, not even low prio ones. Not until we are sure that we can replace the old server with this new one.
Zimbra's diffuse configuration also makes it tricky to migrate the configuration, which is spread across files, ldap, mysql(?). And then there's certificates…
I would rather avoid an innitial rsync just to guarantee a consistent configuration, since that would be in the order of 25G.
Do you have any other suggestions of how to do a base-setup + configuration prior to a restore?
Even if it does involve multiple steps, that's okay if it's easily automatable.
Thank you very much in
