hi all,
Thanks for your answers, they are very reassuring.
We use snapprotect and our zimbra host is a vmware vm on a nfs datastore, so if I understand correctly, we can just back it up using the vmware media agent and for restores we can create a new vm from the snapshot and restore from there. Every now and then this could fail because the vm was not in a consistent space, but your experience is that is mostly works
Mark, what do you mean exactly by 'restore back to the maildrop'? Sorry for newbie question, but I have not used zimbra so long.
