How to insert a previous backup on Elastix

Scenario: You installed a new Elastix 2.4.0 and would like to restore backups from the old installation.

Resolution:

  • you access https://serverip/index.php?menu=backup_restore and you can notice that no restore options are available (because no backups exist, yet)
  • SSH to the Elastix box
  • from the SSH CLI, FTP to a box where you have stored the old backups
  • lcd to /var/www/backup
  • get the backup from the FTP server (bin, hash, get filename.tar)
  • re-access https://serverip/index.php?menu=backup_restore and select the backup file.
  • Press “Proceed”
