If this is not the case, check the ZxBackup page for all the informations you need!

Why an initialization is needed

To work properly, ZeXtras Backup needs a dedicated directory on a filesystem to save all it's configurations and all the backupped data. The default path for this directory is /opt/zimbra/backup/zextras/.

The inizialization process automatically creates the folder structure and the configuration files needed.

When an initialization is needed

  • Immediatly after installing ZeXtras Suite
  • Every time the "Backup Destination Path" is changed in the ZxBackup tab of the ZeXtras Administration Zimlet.
