Cool thanks, I will keep working on it and let you know the results.
i followed all the instructions above and get:
Saving Backup 3…done!
Intializing Backup 3
Connecting to remote server…
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.15 port 22: Connection timed out
Something went wrong when connecting to remote server. Aborting!
any ideas to test?
i commented out the ssh_config on both primary and secondary. now I get this:
Saving Backup 3…Intializing Backup 3
Connecting to remote server…

done!
as it says the permissions are too open
chmod 700 /var/lib/asterisk/.ssh
chmod 600 /var/lib/asterisk/.ssh/id_[rd]sa
chmod 644 /var/lib/asterisk/.ssh/id_[rd]sa.pub
should fix it.
after entering:
chmod 600 /var/lib/asterisk/.ssh/id_[rd]sa
chmod: cannot access file does not exist.
I thought the file was id_rsa.pub
which I also tried. same error.
rsa and dsa are two dirfferent authentification schemes. my recipe covers both, but in your case you probably forgot to RTFM and neglected to generate the keys for the asterisk user.
in the directory (Primary server) /var/lib/asterisk/.ssh there are 2 files.
-rw–w---- authorized_keys
-rw-rw-r-- known_hosts
do I need to change permissions on those?
no, yopu need to generate the public and private keys.
man ssh-keygen
i did this. followed instructions in this thread with:
Generate your keys
sudo -u asterisk ssh-keygen
Copy public key to primary server
sudo -u asterisk ssh-copy-id -i /var/lib/asterisk/.ssh/id_rsa.pub asterisk@p-primary
Did it work?
no, I already followed the instructions in the thread. step by step. When running the backup I was getting the error message in Post #23
does
/var/lib/asterisk/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
exist on the secondary server?
