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.

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.

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)?

Exactly what Johannes said, but based on the output of your
/var/log/messages I think the second step will be
mount /dev/sda /mnt/usb

Hmmm. Doesn't look like it is "mounted" yet. I just googled "linux how
to mount usb drive"...
Create the directory
mkdir /mnt/usb
Next, mount the drive
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
Then, see if it works:
cd /mnt/usb
ls
You should see a list of the files on your USB drive.

(NOTE: I don't know much about FreePBX)
If you can get to the console, type "mount" and that should give you a
listing of "mounted" filesystems.
If FreePBX mounted the USB drive, you'll be good to go and you can
just copy
(cp) the files to that location.

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.
When I plug the stick in, the consule indicates that the stick is
recognised and is working but does't tell me where
in the directory structure to find it.
Help please?
