asterisk users - May 2006 - Two questions about Asterisk@home and backups.

First question, is there a forum for asterisk@home specific questions?  
I've asked what must have been questions about asterisk@home here and 
gotten some indication they weren't welcome. 

Second, does anyone know what files need to be backed up?   I don't need 
to back up the entire system since I can reinstall from the CD in fairly 
quick order, however, other than the files in /etc, where else does 
asterisk keep files that need to be backed up?

Thanks,
Jim.

A@H is welcome as long as you are referring to the asterisk portion of it
and not the GUI or dialplans that make A@H different from the typical
asterisk.

I believe A@H offers a "backup" button that will backup all pertinent
files
for you. I.e. dialplan, modules, sip.conf, etc.

Jim,

There are SourceForge.net forums for Asterisk@Home where you'll probably
find better answers to your AAH questions. They are located here:
https://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=123387

In terms of backup, AAH has a built-in backup feature as part of the FreePBX
GUI. Set your schedule, tell it which components (configs, voicemails, etc)
you want to backup, and it'll generate a tarball that you can pull off the
system at your leisure.

You might try these sites:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=420324  Backup has 
been discussed many times here. Unfortunately, the SF forums suck in 
terms of searching.
