I’d like to know what I need to backup on my current running system so that I can upgrade the FreePbx distro from v1.818.210.58-1 to v2.210.62.
I’ve got an open question on how to do the backup/restore correctly in another post. In this post I’d like to concentrate on the Aastra scripts/files that need to be saved so that they can be restored on the new server.
Things that I think should be backed up:
/tftpboot/*.cfg These are the current config files for the phones that are configured/connected to the current system. I would also backup any firmware files that differ from what is installed from the aastra-xml-scripts.
/var/cache/aastra/* Backup all the files in this directory as they are needed/used with the current .cfg files from /tftpboot.
/var/www/html/aastra/asterisk/*.prf Save any custom .prf files you have created.
/var/www/html/aastra/config/asterisk.conf This file has your extension to .prf file mapping information.
What I thought that I’d do was:
Install the new distro, run yum install aastra-xml-scripts, run /var/www/html/ aastra/scripts/setup-xml and answer the necessary config questions. Then put the above saved files back to where they belong, giving them the necessary ownership (chown asterisk:asterisk *).
Are there any other files/directories I should backup? Any changes to my procedure that need to be made? Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Jay
