Note this is a continuation from HELP PBX - maxed out my replies.
If my system is crashed and it is running 13 and I have a possibly incomplete 13 backup and a complete 12 backup - how do i go about restoring? I can’t get access to the web gui.
Can i restore via SSH? And try and restore the last 13 backup? Or do I have to wipe the server and do a clean install of 12 or 13 and then back up via web gui?
How do I get my back-ups off the server so they don’t get wiped before doing a clean install if that is the route to follow? I use free pbx hosting.com so they have a selection in their portal to do a clean install.
Are you able to SSH into the node. If so, go into the file structure and copy your last good backups to another computer on the network. I like using cyberduck for file transfer.
on older versions, I believe you can also use that script.
You are pretty well constrained to use the backup generated on the same version, as database structures and more evolve. If you look at the contents of the .tgz file however you will better understand how the backup/restore system works and perhaps even use it as a guide for what you need to manually set-up your new machine if you look into what was put in the ./etc/ folders in the tgz.

How can I know if one of my 13 back-ups is complete?
The last one I got emailed about - the drive filled up - I got

When I look at then directory of backups I see this:
[root@vps1410533580 backup]# ls -d */
Default_backup/ Feb_2016/ March_12_2015/ OCT_28_2014/
I got an email from asterisk last may 1 saying the backup was successful (but older system of asterisk - I think 12 or 11) How do I even know which version of asterisk the back up was from? And why isn’t that on the list? And what is default back up?
I found the .tgz file on the server from May 1 which is 5.6mb which corresponds to this email I got:

Does that look like it could be a whole backup – small office - maybe 12 phones - music on hold. 5 trunks
Looks good. @dicko is right - you can use it to restore configuration on the FreePBX - same generation.
For example I have FreePBX distro 13 box with at about 30 extensions and 5 trunks (no music on hold yet :)) and the my full backup (without backup calls and voicemails) is 1004357 KB, which is roughtly 1 Meg.
