Backup & Restore - Announcements includes Core

Hi all,

FreePBX 17.0.19.32 - Backup & Restore 17.0.5.67

I have tried to carry out a very minimal Backup & Restore from a primary to failover PBX and discovered that “Announcements” ticked by itself includes the following:

Restoring from core [FreePBX\modules\Core\Restore]

Other unrelated modules decide to change the certificate and the admin password. Why?

Any idea why, or how I can reduce all this to just do what was asked? I don’t want Outbound Routes being overwritten when all I want is to copy the Announcements. Core is unticked.

There is no point having a checkbox to select what you do and don’t want, if it just does what it wants anyway.

Thanks!

Does this backup/restore module even work or function at all?
I am getting zero response or interaction with my questions posted in this subforum.
Or seriously I just need to be patient and wait longer?
I have very little confidence in the backup/restore functionality based on what I am seeing when testing it.
And am seeing definite issues any time I try to use it.
I’m expecting to have to resort to manual hard drive and SSD image backups & testing on
similar hardware to expect a backup & restore to work properly.
This system does not appear that it can be trusted or relied upon.
And am not hearing back from anyone here experienced with it yet.
And just like with your post: zero response or interaction from anyone here.

I get needing to be patient for help but this is not looking good.
