02 Aug 2012 Backup of Zimbra MailBox using zmmailbox
This is a short script I use to backup the Zimbra mailbox content for my users.
This has been used on a Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS Open Source Edition) 7.2 installation, but should work on earlier versions as well.
I use another script to backup the whole Zimbra installation, but that might be another blog post.
#!/bin/bash -x
# Backup of Zimbra mailboxes using zmmailbox
# Restore of mailbox should be performed using:
# /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m user@host postRestURL -u https://HOST "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip" mailbox-name-date.tgz
BackupFolder="/backup/zimbra"
MailBox="user1 user2 user3 userN"
DateToday=`date -I`
for name in $MailBox
do
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m $name@pario.no getRestURL "//?fmt=tgz" > mailbox-$name-$DateToday.tgz
done
The backup files are named mailbox-user1-20120802.tgz mailbox-user2-20120802.tgz …

24 Jan 2008 Share calendar between Zimbra users
This post describes how to create shared calendars between two users in Zimbra 5.0
In this example, the administrator designates a mount point to userA@example.com for the calendar to userB@example.com account for which he will have read/write permissions.
As user zimbra do the following
zmmailbox mbox> adminAuthenticate -u https://server.example.com:7071 admin@example.com password mbox> selectMailbox userB@example.com mailbox: userB@example.com, size: 1.44 GB, messages: 20868, unread: 2564 getAllFolders Id View Unread Msg Count Path ---------- ---- ---------- ---------- ---------- 1 conv 0 0 / 10 appo 0 0 /Calendar 14 mess 0 0 /Chats 7 cont 0 0 /Contacts 720 mess 0 0 /Deleted Messages 6 mess 0 0 /Drafts 2 mess 11 1010 /Inbox 901 conv 0 0 /Journal 4 mess 0 0 /Junk 900 conv 0 0 /Outbox 5 mess 0 0 /Sent 15 task 0 0 /Tasks 3 conv 0 0 /Trash
mbox userB@example.com>getFolderGrant /Calendar Permissions Type Display ----------- ------ ------- false rwidx accoun null mbox userB@example.com>modifyFolderGrant /Calendar account userA@example.com rw
mbox userB@example.com>gfg /Calendar Inherit Permissions Type Display ------- ----------- ------ ------- false rwidx accoun null false rw accoun userA@example.com
mbox userB@example.com>selectMailbox userA@example.com mailbox: userA@example.com, size: 1.12 GB, messages: 5400, unread: 860
mbox userB@example.com>createMountpoint --view appointment /userB-calendar userB@example.com /Calendar
userA@example.com should now see the calendar to userB@example.com as userB-calendar in the Calendar view.
