Hello,
Is it possible to make the following options in B&R module:
- Backup only to FTP/SSH - do not make the backup localy (var/lib/asterisk/backups) - because some hardware’s have very small flash/disk?
- Restore from remote FTP/SSH?
Done…
If anybody needs it:

I’ve tested it, it works…
- If you choose FTP backup - it deletes the backup on the local machine after it transferes the file to the Remote FTP.
- You have new menu on the left, where you specify FTP information where the backup file is, and transfer it to the local machine
This was done in a hurry, so the code is not ‘beautifull’, but it works - at least for me 
Be carefull when you upgrade it - make a backup of the the original backup module first (don’t test this on production machine)!!!
I had a feeling my reply wouldn’t be too user friendly but it is an immediate work around for the time being.
I figured there would be a method to overwrite the existing backup as opposed to creating a new one each day. That could probably save a little space.
Let us know how the extra menu goes for the backup.
Thanks for the reply.
But this is too user un-friendly. I allready found a code where if you choose FTP, it makes a local backup and sends it to FTP - I’ve made some adjustment, that after it send the backup via FTP, I delete the local backup.
Now, I just have to make an extra menu, to pull the backup from FTP and restore it.
Couldn’t you make a cronjob to delete the backup from var/lib/asterisk/backups. Just run it a few minutes after the auto backup takes place.
I don’t know the answer for the second question but my guess for a work around would be to ssh into the server and use wget to download it to the /var/lib/asterisk/backups
