PTTLink has a built-in backup feature that is often overlooked. Backups are easy to create and are stored on our [http://backup.pttlink.org Backup server].
=Backup Settings=
To enable backups you'll need to set up the /etc/astrerisk/savenode.conf file as shown. Replace the node number and password with any one of the node's info on your server. The backup filename will be the chosen node number.
Sample: savenode.conf
<pre>
<pre>
NODE=1999
NODE=1999 ; replace with your node number
PASSWORD=123456
PASSWORD=123456 ; replace with your password
ENABLE=1
ENABLE=1
</pre>
</pre>
=Backup=
To create a backup type:<br />
<code>savenode.sh</code> on DIAL and prior.<br />
or <code>save-node</code> on PTTLink. <br />
All nodes on your server will be backed up.
=Restore=
* Point your browser at [[http://backup.pttlink.org Backup server]] and enter your node number and it's password.
* You will see your last four backups in tgz format. Click the one you want to download it.
* With your favorite file transfer program upload the file to your user home directory.
* Then <code>*CLI> tar -xzvf ''fliename''.tgz; cd etc/asterisk</code> and <code>cp</code> all or some of the files to the /etc/asterisk directory.
