What is the error retrieve_conf is having. My guess is your 2 servers have different manager password so backup server can not connect to asterisk manager because the password for the manager is different.
fresh install, FTP’d the backup from primary server to the newly built server, restored evyerthing and the restore failed:
Critical Error retrieve_conf failed, config not applied
Ignore this
Reload failed because retrieve_conf encountered an error: 1

Both servers have the lastest backup version:
Backup & Restore 2.10.0.15
Sorry, was thinking admin… yes your right, but on a restore it would be restoring everything. Making the new DB password and the conf file match wouldn’t it?
Depending on what you are picking to restore it would except asterisk loads the manager settings in memory so when FreePBX tries to connect with what it has after the restore asterisk will not let is since it has in memory what the username and password is. You have to reload the manager module in asterisk or restart it.
