We've been running Zimbra on NetApp for quite a number of years now. Started with 7-mode, switched to c-mode in 2014.
Production is all FC LUNs to RHEL servers. Which we FlexClone for test/dev and restores (all via iSCSI). We also SnapVault to a secondary location (access via iSCSI). We do daily snapshots, most times they are fine. Occasionally the snapshot isn't consistent, so we have to go back a day. But that's fairly rare. We don't quiesce the filesystem or make use of SnapDrive.
Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss more.

hi,
is anybody running zimbra mail groupware with Netapp storage?
Do you have any tips on how to backup up zimbra using snapshots?
We are now using zmbackup/zmrestore to a nfs volume, but that is not really very efficient nor fast. I was wondering if any of you has implemented a better solution.
Thanks in advance.
