 # Zimbra Backup Script for the community edition
 # This script will take full backup every day and put a gzipped file to another server using ftp
 # Requires ncftp and mailx or mutt to run
 # Original scrip can be found at http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Open_Source_Edition_Backup_Procedure
 # This script is intended to run from the crontab as root
 # Free to use and free of any warranty!  Daniel W. Martin, 5 Dec 2008
 # Modified by Albert Ragnarsson, 22 Jul 2009
 # crontab works like this "23 05 * * * /root/bin/backup.sh > /dev/null 2>&1"
 # This script has been tested on Ubuntu server 8.04 LTS (should work on other platforms but not tested)
