Re: [on-asterisk] Dell server recommendation?
Thanks for all the replies on the server recommendations - one thing I am still unclear on, (and can't seem to get the info from Dell) - does the PowerEdge 1950 have an additional 5v Molex connector for powering a Sangoma FXS board? I just came across this problem with a HP 2U server yesterday and ant to avoid a repeat. Thanks Martin Ken Brown wrote: We're using an Dell R200 1U server here.

Hello Martin, Don't worry about the power connector...we can make our own :) http://www.sangoma.com/products_and_solutions/hardware/specialty_tools.html The Power Adapter allows us to pull a Molex connector off the PCIe BUS.

Re: [on-asterisk] trouble calling out voipdiscount
Hi Simon, I have been using voipstunt, voipraider which are using the same
softswitch infrastructure as voipdiscount, the format I have been using is
country code+area code+digits, no 00 or 011 prefix required, for example, if
I want to call China Mobile number, it is like
exten = _86ZXX,1,Dial(SIP/${ext...@voipraider,120)
Thanks,

[on-asterisk] Backup and restore to a USB stick
Hi all, as many are aware FreePBX has a backup and restore function that can schedule a backup of conf, cdr, and vmail. This works very well but I need to back the files up to a USB stick instead of a default backup directory. My question (not being a good Linux man) is how do I the redirect the backup path to this device.

Re: [on-asterisk] Backup and restore to a USB stick
I belive it would be /dev/sda1 and not just sda - sda1 is going to be the first partition on the usb stick. You can think of it as a hard drive with multiple partitions - the main drive is hda and then the partitions are hda1, hda2, etc. As far as seeing the files on the drive, before unplugging the usb drive, you must first unmount it, otherwise the files may not be written and closed correctly. umount /mnt/usb Is this something you are going to be doing regularly, or just when needed (ie. manual or automated)?

Re: [on-asterisk] Backup and restore to a USB stick
Henry, Make sure on your USB stick there is a directory called asterisk. I'm assuming that your backups are here : /var/lib/asterisk/backups/daily/ Now take what is below and put in a file, make it executable and run as root. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb if [ -d /mnt/usb/asterisk ]; then rsync -av /var/lib/asterisk/backups/daily/ /mnt/usb/asterisk/; umount /mnt/usb; exit 0 else echo Error: Could not mount storage device; exit 2 fi Using the rsync command will move anything that is not in the source directory to the usb. If this works then you can add this script to run after your back up. Not sure in freePX but an also be run as a cron job.

Re: [on-asterisk] Backup and restore to a USB stick
This looks good but I really want a backup and restore to/from the USB stick as default If the stick isn't there then it could default to the directory /var/lib/asterisk/backups/daily/ Henry L.Coleman [VoIP-PBX.ca] - Mike Ashton Henry, Make sure on your USB stick there is a directory called asterisk. I'm assuming that your backups are here : /var/lib/asterisk/backups/daily/ Now take what is below and put in a file, make it executable and run as root. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb if [ -d /mnt/usb/asterisk ]; then rsync -av /var/lib/asterisk/backups/daily/ /mnt/usb/asterisk/; umount /mnt/usb; exit 0 else echo Error: Could not mount storage device; exit 2 fi Using the rsync command will move anything that is not in the source directory to the usb. If this works then you can add this script to run after your back up. Not sure in freePX but an also be run as a cron job.

Re: [on-asterisk] trouble calling out voipdiscount
Thanks; turns out I had the wrong number, the vocalized error message was
misleading.

Hi Simon, I have been using voipstunt, voipraider which are using the same

It keeps playing back a voice asking me to dial 00countrycodeX., and that is
indeed the format I'm using.
Arg,

Re: [on-asterisk] Backup and restore to a USB stick
You could always mount the usb stick to that location mount /dev/sda1 /var/lib/asterisk/backups/daily this will overlay the existing directory and write to the USB stick Once unmounted, it would write to the hard drive. The only caveat is that in order to access both locations at the same time, you would have to mount the usb stick to a different location. Lastly, you could manually the ampbackup.pl script itself to save to a different directory, but htis may get overwritten in the next FreePBX update.

Re: [on-asterisk] Backup and restore to a USB stick
Henry, Don't forget to do a umount (either of umount /dev/sda1 or umount /mnt/usb should work). If it doesn't unmount, make sure that you've cd'ed out of /mnt/usb and try again (umount won't work if the current directory of a shell session or program includes the mounted filesystem). If you just remove the usb stick without the umount bad things happen.
