I started using the"zimbraColdBackup script recently and I like it. There is one big feature I miss however: The ability to compress the result folder with gzip or bzip2.
When I tried this manually it reduced the size from 1.1 GB to 306MB. So I think compression would save a lot of valuable harddrive space.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

I haven't tried this but it should be possible to do so, by adding the "compress" option in the part of the code that looks like:
if ( $send_remote ) {
# Backup Zimbra using "rsync"
my $rem_rsync_obj = File::Rsync->new ( {
'rsync-path' => $rsync,
'archive' => 1,
'recursive' => 1,
'links' => 1,
'hard-links' => 1,
'keep-dirlinks' => 1,
'perms' => 1,
'owner' => 1,
'group' => 1,
'devices' => 1,
'times' => 1
} );
