Addressbook(s) backup

Hi,

I am currently working on a script for my client for backing up all their addressbooks for each of their respective users, where i have hit a wall.

This is what i am using to backup the contacts:

Code:

---

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com getRestURL '/?fmt=csv&query=under:Contacts'

---

This is what i am using to backup the emailed contacts:

Code:

---

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com getRestURL '/?fmt=csv&query=under:Emailed Contacts'

---

Now the contacts command is giving me the csv, but the emailed contacts one is NOT. It just gives me the below error

Code:

---

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: GET from https://mail.domain.com:443/home/user@domain.com/?fmt=csv&query=under:Emailed%20Contacts failed, status=404.  no such item)

---

Whereas when i go to the web interface, i see contacts under "Emailed Contacts".

Any ideas on where i am going wrong ?

Also i need a way to be able to get a list of all addressbooks users have. Example: A user created "Internal Users Addressbook", "Client X List". Now i want my script to be able to backup all of them, but unless i know their names, its difficult to do so.

The command i pointed above doesn't work for anything but the contacts folder. There has to be a way to get a list and then back them up. Or back them up all together.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

To add, i tried another approach,

Code:

---

zmmailbox -z -m user gact

---

Even the above doesn't show / list contacts from all the addressbooks, but only shows "Contacts" and "Emailed Contacts".

Got a reply from the Zimbra forums (http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...-s-backup.html). Posting here for archival purposes:

The below now works to get the "Emailed Contacts" addressbook.

Code:

---

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com getRestURL '/?fmt=csv&query=under:"Emailed Contacts"'

---

And to get a list of all addressbooks:

Code:

---

zmmailbox -z -m user gaf

---

And play with folder type "cont" and then extract required info.

Hope this helps someone else as well :)

Thread moved to the "Zimbra HowTo" section, as it does not concern any ZeXtras product.

Have a nice day,
