FreePBX 15 Backup Trouble

Hey all,

We did a full restore from a v13 to v15.

Few minor stuff had stopped working which after looking at the logs I saw that some custom agi scripts are missing from the /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin folder. So I unpacked the original backup and the agi-bin folder isn’t in the backup. Keep in mind that was a full backup.

So I powered back on the old VM and rsynced the few agi scripts I knew that are missing.
Since we want to delete that old VM, I opened the GUI and created a backup of the /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin directory and stored it locally since it does not have internet access.

Then I rsynced /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin and the backup file, to /scripts/temp/ on the new VM.

So… obviously, I wanted these files on our offsite backup server as well, so I created on the FreePBX 15 a new backup “Old agi-bin Backp”, unchecked all modules, added the directory /scripts/temp/, added local and remote storage servers and hit play.

Nada. It doesn’t store it locally and also not offsite.

Alright, might be a permission issue? Nope. All seems fine. OK, maybe it is? So I added to backup the file /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf

Still no joy…

OK, so I tried adding 1 module to the backup, the AMD module was the lucky one. And it works…

What am I missing that I have to include at least one module?

Bonus question.

[root@freepbx ~]# ls -1 /var/spool/asterisk/backup/

If the PBX creates a backup folder, why doesn’t it drop the backup into that folder?

Thank much
