Before doing this, I would take the time to update your Zimbra. 8.5 is pretty old. Current is 8.8.9.

Zimbra backup and restore processes are not hard. It's all just a copy command other than installing the app itself.

Backing up (from Zimbra):
Since all of the components Zimbra needs are stored in the Zimbra folder itself, you can simply copy the folder to a safe location.
It may be possible to create a cron job to do these tasks automatically. This it the command:
cp -rp /opt/zimbra [location of backup]/zimbra_backup
Depending on your hardware and the amount of data contained in your Zimbra installation, this process can take a while.
Note: It is a very good idea to tag your installation with the version/build of zimbra that will be backed up (ie 3.0.0_GA_156) and the date of backup. You'll need this later.

The entire database, including the passwords, is copied from one to the other. The passwords are kept in MariaDB.

Wouldn't be much of a backup, if it didn't get the user details

For AWS and Azure you can Import your VMs too (Can be tedious at times, specially Azure)
