[SOLVED] Zimbra Backup Script

pople · 03-19-2014, 02:23 AM

I wrote a script to back up a zimbra server content and works better than others I have seen. It does a few extra things like check to see if the drive is mounted, see if the drive is full, sets up a log file in home dir, and reschedules itself using at. Here it is:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

currentdate=$(date)
mount | grep /dev/sdb1 > /dev/null
   if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
        echo "/dev/sdb1 is mounted"
	DISKSPACE=`df -H /dev/sdb1 | sed '1d' | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d'%' -f1`
	if [ $DISKSPACE -lt '95' ]; then 
	   su - zimbra -c "zmcontrol shutdown"
	    echo "Copying backup on $currentdate"
	    cp -rp /opt/zimbra /media/sdb1/`date +%y%m%d`/
	    echo "Backup made on $currentdate" >> $HOME/zimbra_backup.log
	else
	    echo "No Backup made on $currentdate disk full" >> $HOME/zimbra_backup.log
	    exit 1
	fi 
   else
        echo "/dev/sbd1 is not mounted at this time."
	echo "No Backup made on $currentdate no disk mounted" >> $HOME/zimbra_backup.log
   fi
echo "$HOME/zimbra_backup.sh" | at 3am + 1 days 
su - zimbra -c "zmcontrol startup"

Btw the reason I did not use services it becuase all the services script /etc/init.d/zimbra does is call zmcontrol. To use this one would just sudo ./<the script>.sh. Hopes this saves someone the trouble in the future.

Now, i want to restore a new backupfile, how can i run script?

Not sure if this was rhetorical or not, but if I ran this script, and needed a restore, I'd check contents of
/media/sdb1/`date +%y%m%d`

where date +%y%m%d is the day in question.

Yep. You would need to check the directory /media/sdb1 for the latest backup. If you wanted to restore a backup you would need to do the following. In root:

Make sure you want to delete your existing zimbra folder before running the backup.

Code:

rm -rf /opt/zimbra/
cp -r /media/sdb1/<date> /opt/zimbra/

After you have copied the backup to the home directory for zimbra you will need to change permissions.

Code:

chown zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra -R

I think this should work. It has been a while since I have done this. After chaing permissions. Restart zimbra.

Code:

su - zimbra -c "zmcontrol startup"

Here is an updated script. This will do the same thing as before except add compression putting the backups in tarballs. It will also email the admin to notify him/her that a backup has been made or not made.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

currentdate=$(date)
mount | grep /dev/sdb1 > /dev/null
   if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
        echo "/dev/sdb1 is mounted"
        DISKSPACE=`df -H /dev/sdb1 | sed '1d' | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d'%' -f1`
        if [ $DISKSPACE -lt '95' ]; then 
           su - zimbra -c "zmcontrol shutdown"
            echo "Copying backup on $currentdate"
            cp -rp /opt/zimbra /media/sdb1/`date +%y%m%d`/
            tar cfJ /media/sdb1/`date +%y%m%d`.tar.xz /media/sdb1/`date +%y%m%d` && rm -rf /media/sdb1/`date +%y%m%d`
            echo "Backup made on $currentdate" >> $HOME/zimbra_backup.log
        else
            echo "No Backup made on $currentdate disk full" >> $HOME/zimbra_backup.log
            exit 1
        fi 
   else
        echo "/dev/sbd1 is not mounted at this time."
        echo "No Backup made on $currentdate no disk mounted" >> $HOME/zimbra_backup.log
   fi
echo "$HOME/zimbra_backup.sh" | at 3am + 1 days 
su - zimbra -c "zmcontrol startup"
cat /opt/zimbra/zimbra_backup.log | /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/sendmail mail@domain.org
