Greetings,

There has been some interest in the System tab allowing "Configuration/ 
File Backup" archives to be restored via the same System tab.

Personally, I un-archive backups outside of AstLinux to recover  
previous configurations, but it is quite reasonable to restore at  
least a portion of the configuration in a friendly manner.

My request for comments from users is how a "Configuration Restore"  
would be used... to clone new system ?  fix a screw-up ? etc...

And, how should non-/mnt/kd unionfs files be treated?  I feel a little  
uncomfortable restoring these files.

And, then there is the archive file size.  Currently PHP uses /tmp to  
temporarily store the uploaded file from the browser, which is limited  
to 10MB.  Presumably PHP can be configured (php.ini) to upload to /mnt/ 
kd instead to overcome this.

So a System tab "Configuration Restore" could...

1) Add a "Restorable" backup type, similar to the current 'core' set,  
but no non-/mnt/kd unionfs files... and allow a restore of it.

2) Allow the current 'core' set to be restored, including any non-/mnt/ 
kd unionfs files.. and allow a restore of it.

3) Allow any backup to be fully restored, no matter the size,  
including CDR's Voicemail's, etc.

4) tar and ftp are my friends, I don't need no freaking restore in the  
web interface.

Others?

Thanks for your comments...

Lonnie
