asterisk users - Oct 2007 - How To Transfer Asterisk Installation to a Different Machine

I am having some hardware problems with the Linux machine where I have
Asterisk installed and want to use a different machine.

Assuming I install Asterisk on machine number 2, is it possible to just move
files over from the old machine to the new machine and the new machine will
behave like the old?

Anyone have a list of the files that would need to be moved? (Obviously the
*.conf files in the Asterisk directory, I  can think of some others, but if
someone ever did a list that would be a great help.)

You'll probably want to move the subdirs of /var/spool/asterisk that
apply to your install as well.

I'm not sure I did it right, but I always just moved the following:

/etc/asterisk/*.conf
/var/spool/asterisk
/var/lib/asterisk
/usr/lib/asterisk (may be unnecessary; only for non-typical modules; see 
below)

And I haven't had any problems, assuming all required modules are in the 
new /usr/lib/asterisk.  If any are  missing, for example codec_g729a.so, 
the missing ones can be grabbed from /usr/lib/asterisk on the old system.

This asrticle was meant as a backup, but I guess it's basically the same  
thing as what you are looking for: http://astrecipes.net/index.php?n=93
I hope this helps
