ISSUE TYPE

Question

ENVIRONMENT VERSION

Zmbackup Version: 1.2.1
Zimbra Version: 8.7.11_GA_1854.FOSS
Linux Distribution & Version: CentOS release 6.9

SUMMARY

The log file is never created after the backup is finished, the path is correct in the CONF
I want to do full backup every day, I set it up on CRON to run every day, but every day the full backup is different sizes, accounts that were to be of 7GB are with 200MB. I try to open this backup and it says it's corrupted.

00 19  * * 1-5     zimbra  zmbackup -f

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Execute backup with zmbackup -f, after concluding, there is no log file.
2. It simply does not perform full backup every day, I do not know why.

We used zmbkpose previously and since it was too slow to conclude the backup, we decided to change the program.

Every day we perform a full backup with zmbkpose, but zmbackup is not working.
