I have the same issue. zmbackup -f -a user@domain.tld is working but only a few MB data saved then the backup quit. It seems the newest zimbra patch's broke this.

I got a issue like this. The problem was: this server has proxy set.
so, check this:
export|grep -i proxy
if you get return like this:
http_proxy="http://172.16.0.1:808"
then, you have proxy.

to solve:
create a new file as root user:
echo "use_proxy=no" > /opt/zimbra/.wgetrc

now try run zmbackup.
su - zimbra
zmbackup -l
zmbackup -v
zmbackup -f

if it not solve, please, provide us more details about your environment.
