metwest Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi Guys Not sure if this is a bug or not but doing a system config backup and loading it into a new system does NOT appear to bring across the domain address book. So i am guessing either its not backed up in the config file or there is a problem when reloading the config file back in. This means if the client has a hardware failure and did not have a csv backup of there address book they would need to manually re-enter all there entries or create a csv. Learnt this the hard way today, and with cell fields not working yet in csv, manually entering 50+ cell numbers is painful =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Is this the backup of the whole system? Or just a domain? As for the whole system, this function should be really limited to environments where you have no file system access (e.g. snom ONE mini). Especially when the backup gets large, making a backup becomes a significant burden for the PBX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metwest Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Whole system from a remote backup. We learnt the hard way that it does cause a lot of strain on the system as we traced it to the cause of 870 handsets locking up and sometimes squeeling after a system backup. But it is needed as the programming in these systems is extremely complex as it is 8 x snom systems connected across 8 sites. I do it remotely at night after major changes occur to a system. I then reset system after backup to make sure the system is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Don't use the backup from the web page. Really better use the file system backup; it contains the complete backup; the web interface leaves some directories out, e.g. the tftp directory or the generated directory.

metwest Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Just To add to this topic. The address book does carry over in a backup being loaded but will only appear after a restart of the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
