Now that I got a copy 1.8.4. When looking at this: ZeXtras CLI - ZeXtras Suite Wiki - what command/parameters/switches should I use to restore just user account settings? Please advise.
Thanks,
PL

Hi Pl

the best way to learn how to use the ZeXtras CLI command is the zxsuite command itself

You can use the help module of zxsuite command as zimbra user to inspect every modules and parameters. In your case you can do:

zxsuite help  backup doExternalRestore

Syntax:
   zxsuite backup doExternalRestore {source_path} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]


PARAMETER LIST

NAME                          TYPE                 EXPECTED VALUES    DEFAULT
source_path(M)                Path                                    
accounts(O)                   Account Name[,..]                       all
domains(O)                    Domain Name[,..]                        all
filter_deleted(O)             Boolean              true|false         true
skip_system_accounts(O)       Boolean              true|false         true
skip_aliases(O)               Boolean              true|false         false
skip_distribution_lists(O)    Boolean              true|false         false
skip_coses(O)                 Boolean              true|false         false
provisioning_only(O)          Boolean              true|false         false
notifications(O)              Email Address                           

(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter

Usage example:

zxsuite backup doexternalrestore /opt/zimbra/backup/restorePath/ accounts john@example.com,jack@example.com domains example.com filter_deleted false skip_system_accounts false
Restores the example.com domain, including all system accounts, and the john@example.com and jack@example.com accounts from a backup located in /opt/zimbra/backup/restorePath/

Make your tests and ...be careful

Hi DOsOn,
Thanks for quick responding. Are there more descriptions regarding to these attributes:
filter_deleted(O)
provisioning_only(O) Boolean true|false false
Thanks,
PL

[d0s0n]

filter_deleted(O)

With this parameter set to true, the import excludes any deleted accounts found in the import path, even if specifically added by the "accounts" parameter.

provisioning_only(O) Boolean true|false false

This is what we try to explain you in this thread... so if it set to true, no items were imported, only the user provisioning infos (Settings and Preferences).

That's what I need. Will give it a try and post the results here soon.
Thanks for your help.
