Restore a LVM snapshot

Post by dogstar1 »

Hi everyone.

I've been running Zimbra for years and have taken daily backups by snapshotting the /opt volume and then compressing the contents. It worked perfectly the 2 times I needed to restore.

However, my server died back in Oct and I am just now trying to either:

1) Restore the /opt partition and be operational albeit a few months old.
or
2) Extract all the mail accounts for offline use and start out with a clean install.

Has anyone run into this situation? Any advice? I've been mucking around too long now trying to get this to work. I am missing something ;)

Thanks!!!!!
