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...
