Topic: Changing sail version and backing up sail personality

[Chriswilliams]

I need to change my SAIL version, ie remove the old, install the new.

Question: What will happen to all the work I have done setting up the SAIL system? Will it be lost? Or can I do my deinstall/reinstall and all the trunks, voice recordings etc will still be there?

I want to back-up all that personality anyway. I have seen reference to a backup to USB. My version is 2.1.14-501, but I don't see anything in global settings that looks like a USB backup!

Thanks for any advice.

Chris.

Removing SAIL will not remove the database or any of your greetings, CDR's or voicemails.  Removing Asterisk might remove cdrs and voicemails.

If you're really worried, then just make a copy of the following files befaore you start

mkdir /home/backup
cd /home/backup

cp -a /home/e-smith/db/selintra .
cp -a /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/usergreeting* .
cp -a /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv .
cp -a /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail .

Once you've done your upgrade, if any of the above are missing then you can just copy them back again.

Kind Regards
