Sample backup process with default settings.

Note

🤓 Before running your first backup, please have a look at Backup configuration.

In general, running a Zammad backup is as simple as running

$ /opt/zammad/contrib/backup/zammad_backup.sh

Please make sure to test the backup function manually with the user you’re planning the backup first. This ensures that your backup really is running as expected.

Remarks

The backup script can be either run as zammad or root user.

Stopping Zammad is not required (but suggested) technically, but may be in your use case!

(Keep in mind that a running Zammad instance keeps changing data which may be an issue during long backup runs)
