03. Backup Structure

It should be noted that if a system has encryption enabled for voice recordings the voice recordings will remain encrypted when placed on the backup.

The backup includes:

  • MySQL
  • /etc/*
  • BMM
  • Voicemail
  • Recordings for one or more days prior to the date the recording ran as backups are scheduled for 12:30am

The Directory structure used for the backups is as follows:

/opt/backup/%date%/backup

Where %date% is in the format of yyyy-mm-dd (this is the date that the backup ran on)

The files within this folder will be as follows:

bmm.tgz.gpg - system business messages
etc.tgz.gpg - backup of system /etc/ folder
mysql.sql.tgz.gpg - backup of system mysql database
voicemail.tgz.gpg - backup of system voicemail folder

There may also be one or more subdirectories named yyyy-mm-dd, which will hold call recordings pertaining to the date of the subdirecties name.

The call recordings will be compressed in OGG format.

A decoder for OGG under Windows is available from http://www.vorbis.com/setup_windows/
