Migrating Zimbra (from 8.6.0 to 8.8.7) - Leveraging Zextras “NG” modules
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2018 8:15 pm
I've been tasked with crafting a proper recipe for migrating Zimbra services from one server running ZCS NE 8.6.0 to ZCS NE 8.8.7. I'm currently shooting for a side-by-side migration and using the Zextras NG Backup to get it done.
As I understand, Zimbra NG Backup comes enabled by default in 8.8.7. Then, one installs the Zextras backup agent on the OLD Zimbra 8.6.0 system, copy the backup to the new 8.8.7 system, and restore (see: https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_NG_ ... r_Recovery).
What’s not clear to me is how to get the Zextras backup agent installed on the OLD Zimbra server.
I see references to:
- https://wiki.zextras.com/wiki/ZxBackup
- https://wiki.zextras.com/wiki/Migrate_Zimbra
but nothing with the referencing “NG”?
Does one download the ZeXtra's Suite (https://www.zextras.com/download/) and enable the necessary tools?
