@nagendra Okay but what backup are you using? 2 GB per hour is not that bad what we might need to know is the underlying storage and hardware.

And what tool are you using for the backups? Veeam Endpoint? R&R?

[nagendra]

@scottalanmiller am using shell script for backup...

Understood.

[dbeato]

@nagendra Okay are you using any of this?
https://github.com/lucascbeyeler/zmbackup
https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Open_Source_Edition_Backup_Procedure

I use the first link with a slightly modified backup of the mailboxes deleted items since the hot backup doesn't backup those folders (This is the opensource version).

[nagendra]

@dbeato ohh thanks for the tools i will give a try..

[dbeato]

If this is a VM server you can also use LVM for snapshots.

[nagendra]

@dbeato yes its VM .. LVM Snapshot ?? i have option but havent tried it... can we scheduled the backup

[dbeato]

@nagendra LVM Snapshot are what Volume Shadow Copies are for Windows in Linux. Did you setup your Linux server with an LVM volume?

[nagendra]

@dbeato yes

[dbeato]

@nagendra Take a look at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm
https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Open_Source_Edition_Backup_Procedure
They both provide LVM backups examples

Is a snap going to be better than a direct grab in this case? File grab, compress, send... might be the simplest thing.

[dbeato]

@reid-cooper Yeah, there are couple of options
