Hello rbsf!
If you wish to inspect the content of a backupped blob file in the items/ subdirectory of the backup path, I suggest to use `zless` instead of mv+gunzip+cat. Reading the file with zless will not impact the backup system in any way.
If you wish to inspect the backupped data for a Zimbra item, you can use the `zxsuite backup getItem` command to see all stored informations about an item.
The syntax is:
Code:
zxsuite backup getItem {account} {item} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]
PARAMETER LIST
NAME TYPE EXPECTED VALUES DEFAULT
account(M) Account Name/ID
item(M) Integer
backup_path(O) Path /opt/zimbra/backup/zextras/
(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter
while an example output is:
Code:
:~$ zxsuite backup getItem 04ed586a-66d2-48ec-9b7f-5c6e84951c2a 9440 backup_path /opt/zimbra/backup/zextras.tmp/
type message
deleted false
metadata path /opt/zimbra/backup/zextras.tmp/accounts/04ed586a-66d2-48ec-9b7f-5c6e84951c2a/items/40/9440
blob path /opt/zimbra/backup/zextras.tmp/items/Fi/FixBoFeuuxC,RzFlT1zgrTPSc0g=

the account can be both expressed as an email address, for accounts which exist on the system, or as a zimbraId for deleted accounts that are still available in the backup.
In the near future we'll add the option to dump the blob content straight from this command.
Have a nice day,
Cine
