Hi, I'm trying to use zxbackup to migrate from an older installation of Zimbra 7.1.4 32 bit to a newer installation of 8.5 64 bit. It's taking an absolute eternity, possibly partially because the old machine is, well... old and slow.
I'm also hoping to copy the first backup over and then do an incremental to update the changes in order to minimize downtime, based on the recommendation here -- http://forums.zextras.com/zextras-migration-tool/43-planning-migration-between-5-0-9-32bit-7-1-1-64bit.html#post113 -- with just replacing the words "live full scan" with "smart scan", so hopefully that will accomplish what I'm trying to do.
At any rate, I figured I'd just let the initialization run on the old machine for as long as it takes. Who cares anyway how long it takes if I can do an incremental update later. But it took past midnight, and we have a script that runs at midnight and shuts down the zimbra services, takes an LVM snapshot, brings the zimbra services back up, and copies off the LVM snapshot to a backup location. But that killed the initialization. So I restarted a smart scan this morning when I realized that. However, this means that I'm running a smart scan when the original initialization never completed successfully. Is this a problem? Do I need to start over? If so, how do I start over, just delete everything in the zxbackup output folder?
Thanks!
