Zimbra Disaster Recovery

[bablimaity]

Hi All,
We are using Zimbra 8.8.12_GA_3794.RHEL7_64.20190329045002 in our server successfully but unfortunately the server got crashed due to a hardware issue and we are unable to retrieve a backup of emails from the old server. However, we are able to boot the old OS in a rescue mode and able to copy the /opt/zimbra folder to a new server where we build the Zimbra with the latest 8.8.15_GA_3869.RHEL7_64.20190918004220.tgz. Could anyone please guide me to restore the old files to the new server from the backup of the crashed server? Any official document of Zimbra will help a lot.

Thanks

Hi, phoenix thanks for your reply. I have checked the wiki of Zimbra about disaster recovery but I am struggling with a version mismatch. Is there any way to restore with different version?

Thanks

This should help: https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/How_to_mov ... her_server

You have to install the same version on the new server that was on the old one. You can always upgrade later after the migration.
