zextras 1.10.0's 'doSmartScan' not exec'ing a full scan

[pgn]

I've installed Zextras 1.10.0 on my Zimbra 8.0.7 server.

Prior to upgrading Zimbra, I'm attempting to force a FULL backup

	zxsuite backup doFullScan
		Command was replaced by doSmartScan and doPurge.

but the alternative

	zxsuite  --progress backup doSmartScan

	        operationId                                         2cd97d3e-ede2-4e6e-9882-3a62da24d456
	        server                                              my.domain.com
	        monitorCommand                                      zxsuite backup monitor 2cd97d3e-ede2-4e6e-9882-3a62da24d456


	 -- 
	 Account scanned:                  0/18
	 Account updated/new:              0/0
	 Item scanned:                     0
	 Item updated/new/unique:          0/0/0

	 -- 
	 Account scanned:                  18/18
	 Account updated/new:              0/0
	 Item scanned:                     0
	 Item updated/new/unique:          0/0/0

Doesn't appear to execute the scan.

How do I force a full scan now that 'doFullScan' has been removed?

Hi pgn,

the SmartScan operation considers only those items that has been modified from the last scan, so it's possible that nothing has changed since then.
Anyway you can try to modify an item or an account, rerun the SmartScan operation and post here the end notification, which should reports some changes.
Another thing you can try is to use the "deep" mode of the SmartScan:

zxsuite backup dosmartscan deep true

Let me know if you have any other issue.

Have a nice day,

At exec with the 'deep' scan option,

zxsuite backup dosmartscan deep true

        operationId                                         f2fea40e-4c25-49d4-88a2-c86dfef23e5b
        server                                              my.domain.com
        monitorCommand                                      zxsuite backup monitor f2fea40e-4c25-49d4-88a2-c86dfef23e5b


zxsuite backup monitor f2fea40e-4c25-49d4-88a2-c86dfef23e5b

the scan took ~ 45 mins, which seems uncharacteristically long. But no errors were fired.

What specifically is the difference between

zxsuite backup doSmartScan deep true

and the 'old'

zxsuite backup doFullScan

if any?

Hello pgn!

The old "fullScan" operation performed the very same coherency check than the current SmartScan, the only difference between the two being that the FullScan also purged any deleted item out of the backup retention from the backup path. The latter task is now performed by a stand-alone operation called "Purge", which took the FullScan's place in the default operation schedule (coupled with a SmartScan).

The "deep" option - which was also available for the FullScan - forces the operation to check the full history of the item instead of taking into account just the latest state.
