Hi Guys,

I have a small problem :) When i try to restore mailbox from my full backup (~3GB ) i receiving this error:

2014-02-23 21:45:55 DEBUG: [email protected] - Restauring from 23/02/2014 21:08:03 FULL
curl: option --data-binary: out of memory
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information

enybody has sollution for this?

p.s. when i try to make restore from another user (mailbox 200mb ) its working without any problems

When running this command: /usr/local/bin/zmbkpose -d 2d in order to delete backups older than 2 days, the command is not working if in the file name, we have 60 for seconds: example 201418081460.tar.gz because the data with 60 sec does not exist.

Could you please fix this issue? Thank you.

Alguien hizo una copia de todas las cuentas pero el archivos sessions.txt fue borrado, como puedo restaurar manualmente o alguna forma sin este archivo, varias cuentas tiene FULL e INC

Hello,

I'm using the latest version of Zmbkpose (issue34) but i'm having a problem with it. No matter if I make full or incremental backup constantly the script is hanging with the following reason:

2013-05-16 10:32:22 DEBUG: [email protected] - Last backup from 09/05/2013 10:26:50 ...
2013-05-16 10:32:22 DEBUG: [email protected] - START INC backup ...
2013-05-16 10:32:22 DEBUG: [email protected] - Doing ldap backup ...

2013-05-16 10:32:22 DEBUG: [email protected] - Doing mailbox backup ...
curl: (35) SSL connect error

Anyone knows anything about this issue?

Liandros wrote the code from scratch.

I just read it, need's someone to test.

Hi, I'm new using zmbkpose, and i'm having an issue. I have 3 mailbox servers and 2 remote ldap, and when i try to make a backup there is not any errors, just size backup is 0, when the account has 413 mb. In /etc/zmbkpose/zmbkpose.conf, ldapmasterserver is 192.168.X.Z, the mailboxes are 192.168.X.A, X.B, X.C. How can i make the backup. I run the zmbkpose from an external server, 192.168.X.D, with a NAS-NFS on my mnt as WORKDIR. If a run zmbkpose with ALL (LDAP, MTA, MAILBOX) just in the same server, runs fine, but with an ldap apart, and 2 or 3 mailboxes, looks like doesn't makes backups, just size 0. Thanks in advanced...

Hello,

i have never used zmbkpose but i took a look at the src code cause i needed some tips for my scripts.

i noticed that yours queries to the zimbra mailbox are those three:

https://$MAILHOST:7071/home/$MAIL/?fmt=tgz
https://$MAILHOST:7071/home/$MAIL/Junk?fmt=tgz
https://$MAILHOST:7071/home/$MAIL/Trash?fmt=tgz

the first one export only Sent and Inbox, the last two Junk and Trash.
so what about Drafts folder? and every custom folder which could be created?

that can be solved with only one query query instead of four or one for each custom folder, here it is:

https://$MAILHOST:7071/home/$MAIL/Trash?fmt=tgz%20is:anywhere

hope that helped.

Zmbkpose should capture authentication failure errors. Currently it just goes on creating empty archives. which is dangerous and if one fails to notice it, the backup rotation job will wipe out all valid past backups.

Requirement.

1. Detect password failure while connecting zimbra server
2. Send notification to an email-id about failed backup
3. Log to syslog about the error.

Hi,

I just setup new install ubuntu server ver 12.04 , then install zimbra, everything is working good. sending / receiving email. now i want to install zmbkpose backup (i did this already 12 months ago on ubuntu 10, i use this same instruction and backup working OK.)
Now with ubuntu 12.04 ,im go thru readme file from revrite proposal.i think :) all files in on right places
but when i try to run backup manually i have error: ERROR:You don't have "gawk" command, or it is not in your PATH,

what can be wrong?

hi,

in my case i had some troubles with cronjob and $(wich ldapsearch) because it don't found ldapsearch so i replaced it with the variable: LDAPSEARCH=/opt/zimbra/bin/ldapsearch

Hello,

with the latest version of the program, rewrite_proposal_v2.0 after issue #51 , appears the error in object.

My environment has installed the following programs:
Zimbra 8.0.6
libcurl-7.19.7-37.el6_4.x86_64
curl-7.19.7-37.el6_4.x86_64
openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.7.x86_64

Operating System:
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

During backups, both full and incremental, the error appears.
Never occurs during the backup of the same user, but it happens randomly.

Here the log backup of this night:

[root@mail backup]# tail backup_INC_20140624.log
2014-06-24 02:02:22 DEBUG: user1@domain1 - generated tar file /mnt/backup/user1@domain1/20140624020222:INC.tar

2014-06-24 02:02:22 DEBUG: user2@domain2 - Doing mailbox backup ...
curl: (35) SSL connect error
[root@mail backup]#

When the error appears in the script exits and missing user are not saved.

In the zmbkpose.conf I disabled the parallel backups.

Launch the script command as follows:

su - zimbra-c "/usr/local/bin/zmbkpose -i" >> $ LOG 2> & 1

or

su - zimbra-c "/usr/local/bin/zmbkpose -f" >> $ LOG 2> & 1

Hi,

I have an issue with rewrite_proposal_2.0 of Zmbkpose.

This issue was mentioned in issue #33 by ymarinov but it was not answered as far as I can see.
When incremental files are created, if there are no new mails, calendar or any other entries for the specific user, there will be no mailbox.tgz file in the :INC.tar file. This is not an error per se, but when you try to restore that specific user, an error is thrown and the restore stops. The error is in the form:

ERROR: file mailbox.tgz does not exists in tar file "/opt/zimbra/backup/[email protected]/20140222215236:INC.tar"

NOTE: I changed the domain to mydomain.com for privacy purposes.

The error comes from the code in the restore_account() function, namely this part:

#Restore
        if ! $TAR_cmd -tf "$tar_bkfile" $MAILBOX_FILE_IN_TAR >/dev/null 2>&1;then
            error "file $MAILBOX_FILE_IN_TAR does not exists in tar file \"$tar_bkfile\""
            return 1
        fi
        if [ -z "$SIMULATE" ] ;then
            $TAR_cmd -O -xf "$tar_bkfile" $MAILBOX_FILE_IN_TAR| \
                zimbra_mailbox_restore "$account" "$mailhost" 
        fi 

I changed this code a little bit so that it doesn't stop on error, but just skip. You could also add the check for the -u switch, although this is not an error, this is just the way the incremental files are created. The changed code looks like this:

     #Restore
                if ! $TAR_cmd -tf "$tar_bkfile" $MAILBOX_FILE_IN_TAR >/dev/null 2>&1;then
                        error "file $MAILBOX_FILE_IN_TAR does not exists in tar file \"$tar_bkfile\"
                elif [ -z "$SIMULATE" ] ;then
                                $TAR_cmd -O -xf "$tar_bkfile" $MAILBOX_FILE_IN_TAR| \
                                        zimbra_mailbox_restore "$account" "$mailhost"
                fi        

I am not that good at bash scripting, so I am sure that this can be improved. Hope this helps someone else.

BTW, this is an excellent project.

Thank you for all your efforts and time and keep up the good work!

Create a Debian package to upload into Debian repositories, so, follow the Debian-rules Debian-Policy

Currently I can use "zmbkpose -f" to backup all accounts without specifying the account name one by one, but I have to specify the account name one by one (e.g., zmbkpose -r [email protected],[email protected] session_name) in order to restore them.

I request a new feature to support "zmbkpose -r" to restore all accounts without specifying the account name one by one.

The easiest way to write a man page, is using te help2man, so for this we need to fix the functin that show help. It sucks.

There is a typo at line 319 in file issue35/src/zmbkpose

• "https://$mailhost:7071/home/$mailbox/?fmt=tgz$search_query" ;then

I made ​​some modifications, and I would like to collaborate with the proyect. How I can to continue?

Important page the can show for new users some people using zmbkpose.

I'll start the page, asking 4Linux for some numbers

When I try to run zmbkpose -f I keep getting a "DNS SRV: out of memory?" error and i cannot proceed with the backup. Is there any reason I would be getting this? I have 4GB of RAM so I wouldn't think that would be the issue.

Needs someone who understant how we can upload this into Fedora/RH/Centos repositories, Suse and Mandriva packages are wellcome too.

When running zmbkpose -f I keep getting curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host ' '

Hola tengo el siguiente problema cuando quiero restaurar un incremental tengo el siguiente problema primero detallo como lo estoy haciendo.

Alguna sugerencia

When doing a -l on Ubuntu some errors are thrown for gensub and other awk functions.
Installing gawk solves the problem, so it would be nice to suggest the installation of this package.

I'm using rewrite_proposal

Hi all,

I use zmbkpose -f and it backups all accounts except for the last created account. I deleted the last account but then when i perform again a full backup it lacks again to backup the account created before the last created account. I get an error at the end of the script.

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: ; Name or service not known

Can someone help me please??

Tanx in advance

Create the manpage covering all functions in ENGLISH

hi,

i am verry pleased with the rewrite pruposal but in the master branche there is a restore option called --RestoreonAccount. This option can be used to restore an account to an other account name. i mis this option in the rewrite proposal.

Will this ever be build inside the rewrite pruposal? Now whenever i restore the acoount i have to clean my hole mailbox again, because i only need 1 mail from my restore?

greetings chris

An user may wish to backup their emails on DVD. Actually the script can produce very big TARs, having an option to split them up in 4.4G automatically can be a good thing.

In incremental_all_accounts(), when an user does not have previous full backup, $SESSION parameter is missing and the script is always doing full backup to such user.

Should be:
backup_accounts $MAIL $SESSION

Create a shell script to install the source code.

On the zmbkpose source, we have a lot of util comments. Many of the information there need to be translated to english, and maybe the extra information need to be moved to the man pages.

In a cron job I configure to zmbkpose exclude backups older than 15 days. But I noticed that just the incremental backups were excluded and the full backups still there. This behaviour is normal?

Create a script to verify all dependencies of zmbkpose.

Need to find all by reading the source code.

Quando executo o comando para efetuar o backup ele começa a efetuar o backup, no entanto após alguns minutos lendo a mailbox ele me apresenta o seguinte erro:

E vai crescendo. Alguém pode me ajudar?

can any one suggest what are the changes in zmbkpose file for zmbra8.when iam trying to restore the data in zimbra 8 im getiing duplicate mails.what are the changes in zmbkpose file?

run command ./zmbkpose -f

..
..
..
..
curl (6) couldn't resolve host

What is the solution ?

This is a complete rewrite proposal to zmbkpose.
I present this to the team members for feedback before attempting to upload.
* Full rewrite of source code
* New storage format for backups, incomppatible with older versions
* More flexibility, simplicity backup storage, and performance
* Conditional incremental or full backup(how old is the last backup)
* List information about backups
* Restore the account to a specific time

What do you think?
The code is in https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9IDNSyRLvcBdVN4cWd6U2ZQUWc

even if launched with -u switch, the backup is halted on curl error. I got this result 👍 curl: (23) Failed writing body
and the backup stopped...
Using proposed rewrite branch

Hi Guys,

p.s. if i use su - zimbra and than i type: zmbkpose -f backup was create successful.

Thx For help

when iam migrating my server from zimbra7 to zimbra8,im facing problems in restoration.if im restoring the full backup for 3 times,my mailbox size also increased by 3 times(if it is 10MB after restoration for 3 times it is 30MB).can any one suggest what are the changes in zmbkpose file or any zimbra8 compatable zmbkpose?

Make the code easy to be read. English needs to be the default lang.

I have Installed rewrite_proposal_v2.0 but in this i can not take backup of zimbra distribution List. I have tried with all command. I have checked zmbkpose file so found there is no any mentioned command like this zmbkpose --backupDistributionList. I have tried using both master and rewrite_proposal_v2.0 so it is working on master but it is not working onrewrite_proposal_v2.0. wo we can not take backup of Zimbra distribution List.

Hello,

I'm using currently the rewrite_proposal_2.0 of Zmbkpose. I'm replication our main mail server, and I'm having an issue with it. Please find the exact log below, and if you have anything to suggest will be glad to hear from you. Have in mind that no one killed the session - it's saying killed ...
