I have two machines each running Asterisk 1.8 and FreePBX 2.8, they were from PIAF. I have gone ahead and made a backup from one machine, then transferred the file to the remote machine. Then I tried to restore, and nothing happened. I tried to restore even small parts like system configuration only, but still nothing.
Any idea why the restore will not work, is there a log or a way to execute this by command line so i can see the issue.
Some notes:
I made sure owner was asterisk:asterisk, i checked the permissions and made it to be the same as any other backup i had made.
The only thing i did was rename the file from some long date .tar.gz to a shorter name like backupnew.tar.gz, but thats it.
Any ideas? i want to try avoiding an incredible pbx backup and restore script, i just never seen this before.
Really, is that something which changed or have always been the case, I feel in the past i was able to rename the file making it easier for me to remember when moving the file between servers in the command line. I thought that it simple opened the tar.gz file and then recognized the contents.
So your saying it references the naming structure? because certainly if i am moving it from one server to another, the new server would not have any record of this file, so i am asusming something in the restore process is looking for a particular naming convention (pattern)
