Hi Damion,
As you're advocating the use of Zimbra Community Edition, I'm curious
how you suggest performing regular backups for anything other than
disaster recovery.
One of the key features missing from Zimbra Community Edition is a
"Zimbra Savvy" backup method. This is important because, unlike a lot
of more traditional mail servers (save perhaps Exchange, about which
I don't know much), Zimbra stores user data all over the place (in
flat files, in its embedded OpenLDAP, and in its mailbox database).
Disaster recovery backups are possible by shutting down the service,
making a filesystem snapshot and then backing that snapshot up to
disk or tape. But individual mailbox backups (and more importantly
*restores*) are only supported with the commercially supported version
of Zimbra.
See the section labeled "Real-time backup and restore":
http://www.zimbra.com/products/compare_products.html
Please correct me if this is no longer the case.
Ben
