Zimbra running while restore in process.

[cias]

Hi, is it possible to run restore on new zimbra server, and zimbra is in live production. (smtp running, imap runnig, clients using mailbox, etc...)???

Thanks for reply.

Yes it is possible. I tested it..

Hi cias and welcome to the forums!

The procedure you are looking for is called "Incremental Migration", and allows you to lower the downtime as much as possible (usually to zero) by using ZeXtras Backup on both the source and destination server, so I moved this thread to the right forum section.

The complete process is described in the following ZeXtras Wiki article: ZxBackup: Incremental migration with ZeXtras Backup - ZeXtras Suite Wiki


Have a nice day!
