Hi, which version?

[killmasta93]

thanks for the reply running 1.2.5

[lucascbeyeler]

That's probably Zimbra - their API is broken for backing and restoring data for a long time.

[killmasta93]

thanks for the reply, so im able to restoring running this command

su - zimbra -c "zmmailbox -z -m [email protected] postRestURL '//?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip' /mnt/full-20210110013003/[email protected]";

[lucascbeyeler]

possible - give it a try. Worst case scenario I change the code to use this CLI command instead

[killmasta93]

so the above command works to restore, but the zmbackup command line does not

[HcKTR]

Hello, thank you for your return. I haven't tried it yet. I took note of this command.

[killmasta93]

yeah thats why for now only restoring mailbox using the command, waiting till the new update to fix this issue

su - zimbra -c "zmmailbox -z -m [email protected] postRestURL '//?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip' /mnt/full-20210110013003/[email protected]";

[lucascbeyeler]

Hi,

I did not release yet a new version but for the latest commit I'm using zmmailbox. Could you please try again with that version and see if the problem persists?

[killmasta93]

thanks for the reply, should i update it? and retry this command?
zimbra@mail:/root$ zmbackup -r -m full-20210110013003 [email protected]

[lucascbeyeler]

yes, please

[killmasta93]

so i tried the following updated to 1.2.6 and restored another mailbox but i got this

zimbra@mail:/root/zmbackup$ zmbackup -r -m /mnt/full-20210207013003 [email protected]
Nothing to do. Closing...

i checked the size

[lucascbeyeler]

You are using -m option for an account that does not exist. That´s the issue

[killmasta93]

Thanks for the reply. it says the account does not exist but it does, i tried another account to see what happens, whats odd is that not sure why it shows like n/gky

Thank you

[lucascbeyeler]

I mean not the file, I mean the account inside zimbra server... -m is just to restore the e-mails and nothing more. And that´s not Zmbackup error - that´s your mailserver error

[killmasta93]

thanks for the reply, but the account [email protected] does exist

[wh4u]

The same behavior occurred to me also

[killmasta93]

any updates?

[killmasta93]

bump?
