This is just a simple script that I wrote to manage backing a singer server installation of Zimbra Community. It needs some attention, additional tests, etc. but works as is with zimbra 8.x on an ubuntu 12.04 server installation. Of course you will need to change ip addresses to suit your environment…<\/p>\n
