Backup

Backup allows you to backup Thirdlane Multi Tenant or Thirdlane Business Phone System.

For systems installed in virtual environment, we recommend using snapshots on a virtual server level so Backup/Restore section is no longer shown by default unless you specify backup_restore=1 in /etc/webmin/asterisk/instances.txt
