disaster recovery: How to tell what version you have from file listing?

Post by hescominsoon »

Major oversight on my part. i did not notate what version i had installed when i had a massive failure at my church's zimbra server. I have the data back but i need to know what version of the system i had. I have the full file listing. How can i tell what version i had installed from a file listing dump? it is a 7.x version i know that much..

Hi, i don't know how to figure from a file listing, but in /opt/zimbra/log/zmsetup-dateofinstall.txt you can find the ZCS version.

/opt/zimbra/.install_history is probably the best file to look
