Restoring a backup from one server to another

If we have a backup file, we can copy it to another recently installed Elastix Unified Communications Server, if we'd like to restore it. For example, Server A is a production server, but we'd like to use a brand  new server with more resources (Server B).


How to do it…

• After having Elastix installed in Server B, perform a backup, irrespective of whether there is no configuration in it and create a backup in Server A as well.

• Then, we copy the backup ( *.tar file) from Server A to Server B with the console command (being in Server A's console):

scp /var/www/backup/back-up-file.tar root@ip-address-of-server-b:/var/www/backup/

• Log into Server B's console and change the ownership of the backup file with the command:

chown asterisk:asterisk /var/www/backup/back-up-file.tar

•  Restore the copied backup in Server B by using the System | Backup/Restore menu. When this process is being done, Elastix's webGUI will alert us of a restoring process being
