**Migration Howto**: https://community.zextras.com/zimbra-migration-with-zextras-backup

:!: Set the **[[internet:mail:zimbra:zimbra_max_msg_size|maximum message size]]** on the Zimbra server **before** proceeding with any inbound migration to avoid problems.

<note warning>Import and export of large mailboxes will cause high CPU and, especially, disk IO.  Try to perform import/export operations when users will be impacted the least.</note>

===== Zextras Backup Migration =====

**Read this entire page first: [[https://community.zextras.com/zimbra-migration-with-zextras-backup|Migrate Using Zextras Backup]]**

:!: If you are migrating from one Zimbra ZCS server to another, this is the way to go.  It is fairly simple and very effective.

  * Accounts
  * CoS
  * Mail
  * Calendar Items
  * Briefcase Items
  * Drive Items
  * Preferences
  * Etc.

==== Overview ====

<note tip>For Zextras notifications regarding command line backup actions, see **Zimbra Admin -> Zextras -> Notifications**. </note>

<note tip>For best performance, use a fast disk as the migration backup location, rather than an NFS share. The difference can be hours instead of days!</note>

<note tip>For best performance, use multiple accounts on your restore command to restore more than one user at a time. The difference can be hours instead of days!</note>

  - Ensure that **Zextras Backup** is installed on **both** the source and destination servers
    * You can configure Zextras Backup on the destination server permanently
  - **Disable Zextras Backup Realtime Scanner** on both servers
  - **Disable scheduled SmartScans** on both servers
  - **Mount** the backup media on the source server
    * **Set permissions** to ''zimbra:zimbra''
    * Usually ''/opt/zimbra/backup/zextras''
  - Run a Zextras Backup **SmartScan** backup on the old server
    * Initializing Zextras Backup will run a SmartScan
    * May take hours
    * Do not run another Zextras Baackup (SmartScan) on the source server until you are ready for the final cutover
  - **Dismount** the backup media from the source server
  - **Mount** the backup media on the destination server
    * Use a **temporary mount point** such as ''/mnt/tmp''
    * **Reset the permissions** to ''zimbra:zimbra''
  - **Start** the restore
    * Use **multiple threads** for a quicker restore
    * May take days
  - **Dismount** the backup media from the destination server
  - **Mount** the migration backup media back on the source server
    * Use exactly the **same mount point** previously used
    * **Reset the permissions** to ''zimbra:zimbra''
  - When you want to do the actual migration, **stop mail flow** on port 25
    * **Verify** the mail has stopped flowing
    * Incoming mail will be delayed
  - Run another (final) **SmartScan** on the source server
    * It won't take long as it's an incremental backup
  - **Dismount** the migration backup media from the source server
  - **Mount** the migration backup media on the destination server
    * Use a **temporary mount point** such as ''/mnt/tmp''
    * **Reset the permissions** to ''zimbra:zimbra''
  - **Start** the restore
    * Use **multiple threads** for a quicker restore
    * This restore will be much quicker
    * May still take hours depending on how much mail has flowed since the first pass
  - **Dismount** the migration backup media from the destination server
  - **Enable Zextras Backup Realtime Scanner** on the destination server
  - **Enable scheduled SmartScans** on the destination server


==== Restore ====

<file>
mkdir /mnt/tmp
chmod 777 /mnt/tmp/
mount -t nfs ip.of.nfs.svr:/path/to/backup /mnt/tmp/
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /mnt/tmp
su - zimbra
zxsuite backup doExternalRestore /mnt/tmp concurrent_accounts 5
</file>

==== Verify Proxy Settings ====

Check all domains:

<file>
for dom in $(zmprov gad); do zmprov gd $dom zimbraPublicServiceProtocol zimbraPublicServiceHostname zimbraPublicServicePort; done
</file>

Modify all domains:

<file>
for dom in $(zmprov gad); do zmprov md $dom zimbraPublicServiceProtocol https zimbraPublicServiceHostname zimbra.yourdomain.tld zimbraPublicServicePort 443; done
</file>

===== CLI =====

:!: Change to the ''zimbra'' user for all commands:

<file>
su - zimbra
</file>

List the mailboxes to be exported:

<file>
zmprov gqu localhost | grep yourdomain.tld|awk {'print $1'}
</file>

or, for two domains:

<file>
zmprov gqu localhost | egrep 'yourdomain1.tld|yourdomain2.tld' | awk {'print $1'}
</file>

Count of the number of mailboxes to be exported:

<file>
zmprov gqu localhost | grep yourdomain.tld|awk {'print $1'} |wc -l
</file>

The following is an example script to export all mailboxes for one domain to a temporary location.  **Modify before using!**:

  * **Host name**
    * ''localhost'' is OK for single server installations
  * **Domain name**
    * The target domain you want to export all mailboxes for
  * **Zimbra server URL**
    * Omit ''-u'' and referenced URL for single server
  * **Destination**
    * ''/tmp'' shown
    * Check for free space first!
  * **Uncomment lines after editing and testing to begin the export**

<file>
vim /tmp/export-domain-all.sh
</file>

<file>
#!/bin/bash
for i in `zmprov gqu localhost | grep yourdomain.tld | awk {'print $1'}`; do
    echo $i
#    file=`echo $i | awk -F '@' '{print $1}'`
#    /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -t 0 -m "${i}" getRestURL -u "https://hoster.domain.tld" "//?fmt=tgz" > /tmp/${file}.tgz
done
</file>

<file>
chmod +x /tmp/export-domain-all.sh
/tmp/export-domain-all.sh
</file>

===== Move Folders to Another Mailbox =====

https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Steps_to_export_a_folder_from_command_line_where_folder_name_contains_white_spaces

https://webhostinggeeks.com/howto/how-to-manage-mailbox-folder-using-zmmailbox-cli-in-zimbra/

<file>
su - zimbra
</file>

==== Export ====

<file>
# Entire account
zmmailbox -z -m user1@domain.tld getRestURL "//?fmt=tgz" > /tmp/user1.tgz
# Folder and subfolders
zmmailbox -z -m user1@domain.tld getRestURL -o /tmp/user1.tgz '//?fmt=tgz&query=under:"Folder Name"'
</file>

==== Import ====

<note tip>The ''resolve='' parameter has several options:

  * ''skip'' ignores duplicates of old items, it’s also the default conflict-resolution.
  * ''modify'' changes old items.
  * ''reset'' will delete the old subfolder (or entire mailbox if /).
  * ''replace'' will delete and re-enter items

:!: ''Reset'' will be a bit faster on an empty destination mailbox because it skips most dupe checks.</note> 


<note tip>If you get a timeout error, try changing this setting:

<file>
zmlocalconfig socket_so_timeout
zmlocalconfig -e socket_so_timeout=3000000

# change it back when you complete the import(s)
zmlocalconfig -e socket_so_timeout=30000
zmlocalconfig --reload
</file></note>

=== Merge with Existing ===

<file>
zmmailbox -z -t 0 -m user2@domain.tld postRestURL "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=modify" /tmp/user1.tgz
</file>

=== Overwrite Existing ===

<file>
zmmailbox -z -t 0 -m user2@domain.tld postRestURL "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=reset" /tmp/user1.tgz
</file>

===== Outlook Import Wizard =====

:!: This tool appears to require Outlook 2010 (or older?) installed on the machine you are using to run the Migration Wizard.

This tool allows for migration from Outlook (PST) to Zimbra.

===== Migrate a Domain Off Your Server =====

http://www.mojocode.com/content/moving-domain-multi-domain-zimbra-server

Let's say you are migrating a domain off of your multi-domain Zimbra server, but you don't want to just delete the accounts immediately...

If you edit the domain status to closed, users can't log in and the server won't route mail for the domain...which is a problem.  Users of other domains on that server will not be able to send mail to the 'closed' domain.

So, you can easily rename the domain and the server will then route mail normally to the migrated domain.
