Backup system

Description

The backup system backs up the MOR database and allows it to be restored at any time. This functionality is available just for System Admin.

Configuration

Go to SETTINGS –> Setup –> Settings



Click on Backups tab and here you can configure settings of Backups.



If Run Backup according below schedule is checked, the following settings become active:

• Month – in which month backup should be made.
• Day of every month – which day of every month backup should be made.
• Day of week – which day of the week backup should be made.
• Hour – which hour backup should be made.
• Keep on local server – how many backups to keep on the server. The system deletes the oldest one if the limit is reached.
• Don't start backup if disk space less than – checks disk space before making an auto backup.

You can find Backups folder on server by path: /usr/local/mor/backups. Archived DB Backups are named as db_dump_DateTime.sql.tar.gz. You can also find another configuration/Asterisk/GUI/etc files backup folders as well.

Usage

Go to Settings –> Backups



Here you can see list of all Backups:



You can download the backup by clicking the Download icon or restore the backup by clicking the Restore icon. When Scheduler (which runs every hour) makes an auto backup, it is seen as type = auto in the backups list. Click New Backup to create a new Manual Backup. Enter any comment and click on Create

If the server completely dies will the restore be enough to return everything as it was, or are there some other files we should be backing up?

The Backup file contains only Database archived dump. Separate configuration/Asterisk/GUI/audio files/etc are not included in this Backup file. You should take care of them separately.
