Hi,
I was working on backing up and restoring TL MTE. I have altered some of the ports and the way in which the phones connect to autoprovision. I have restored and all looks like its there but some things are missing. I have used the webmin as well as the PBX mgr to backup and restore... Did I miss anything? I would like to know what the exact process is to do a new install and then restore from a full backup is there any documentation on it?
also a strange issue
We are running Asterisk 1.6.0.6 and PBX Manager 6.1.1.5.
We setup the PBX Manager to do a nightly backup and click both boxes to include voicemails and include recorded calls... the backup size is around 300-500MB
Yesterday I did the backup but not on a schedule and the backup is 1.7GB
Any ideas....?
Regards,
Andrew
restore
1 more issue... i tried to restore the manual backup I did on a test server (1.7GB) all looks good but the MOH files are gone as well as all the caller ID's from each tenant... these did not restore to the test server...
I am sure I will find other things not functioning...
I can't even upload .wav files on this test server it gives me an error.
for the caller ID if i enter them manually they work.
any ideas on these issues?
Regards,
Andrew
System Backup and restore
Yes the astdb file in directory /var/lib/asterisk is in the backup file
we restored this to a backup server and a few things were broken like MOH... I cant remember the other 2 issues that didnt work after the restore. I will post them as soon as they come back to mind...
if you use the webmin module 'Backup Configuration Files' there is a section where you can list more directories to backup (like your provisioning directory). Dont forget to do nightly dumps of your mysql database as well.
