DESCRIPTION

asl-backup-menu - Backup AllStarLink node configuration

The asl-backup-menu utility is normally invoked via asl-menu. However, it can be invoked from the Linux CLI with sudo asl-backup-menu by itself, or with any of the supported command line options.

The "Create" option will create a backup archive of your configuration. The archive will be stored locally in the /var/asl-backups directory in .tgz format. After the backup is created you will have the option to upload to archive to an AllStarLink backup server. The /var/asl-backups directory will be created automatically, if it doesn't already exist.

Maximum Archive Size

The maximum backup archive size permitted to be uploaded to backup.allstarlink.org is 2Mb.

The "Restore" options will allow you to restore an AllStarLink configuration from a previously saved backup. The backup archive will be from either local storage or from the AllStarLink backup server. You also have the option to restore the ASL3 "default" configuration.

Restore Factory

The restore-factory option (and it's related menu item) will re-install the asl3-asterisk-config package, overwriting all the .conf files in /etc/asterisk with their default versions. asl-backup-menu will try and keep the secret in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf when it re-installs the config files. Asterisk must be restarted after this process to re-initialize with the new defaults.

The "Delete" option will allow you to remove any of your locally stored backups.

The "Edit" option will allow you to view and/or update the file (and directory) path names that will be included in a backup archive. This information is stored in /var/asl-backups/asl-backup-files. The default asl-backup-files will be created the first time asl-backup-menu is run.
