How to manually backup FreePBX Legacy if errors using Web GUI or fwconsole

If encountering errors with fwconsole during FreePBX legacy backups, a manual backup approach can be employed by directly backing up the relevant files and databases.

1. Backup FreePBX Configuration Files:

• Copy the entire /etc/asterisk directory, which contains Asterisk configuration files.
• Copy the FreePBX web interface files, typically located in /var/www/html/admin or /var/www/html/freepbx.

2. Backup Asterisk Voicemail and Recording Files:

• Copy the /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail directory.
• Copy the /var/spool/asterisk/monitor directory (if call recordings are stored there).

3. Backup FreePBX Database:

• Identify the database used by FreePBX (usually MySQL/MariaDB).
• Use mysqldump to create a backup of the asterisk database and potentially asteriskcdrdb.
  
  Code
  
  mysqldump -u -p asterisk > /path/to/backup/asterisk_db_backup.sql
  mysqldump -u -p asteriskcdrdb > /path/to/backup/asteriskcdrdb_backup.sql
  
  NOTE: A common location for backups is /var/spool/asterisk/backup/default so replace /path/to/backup with /var/spool/asterisk/backup/default
  
  
• Replace and with your database credentials and /path/to/backup with your desired backup location.

4. Combine and Compress Backups:

• After backing up the necessary files and databases, combine them into a compressed archive (e.g., a .tar.gz file) for easier storage and transfer.
  
  Code
  
  tar -czvf /path/to/backup/freepbx_manual_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz \
  /etc/asterisk \
  /var/www/html/admin \
  /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail \
  /var/spool/asterisk/monitor \
  /path/to/backup/asterisk_db_backup.sql \
  /path/to/backup/asteriskcdrdb_backup.sql

This manual process provides a comprehensive backup of the critical FreePBX components, serving as a fallback when fwconsole backups are not functioning correctly.
