Call Server FTP backups
You will require an FTP server somewhere on your ELAN network. Remember, FTP is not TFTP for the following reasons:
- FTP requires user authentication - TFTP is does not.
- FTP uses TCP ports 20/21 - TFTP uses UDP port 69.
- FTP is interactive and bi-directional - TFTP is unidirectioal.
Set the PBX paramaters:
This is done in overlay LD 117:
PRT/NEW/CHG/OUT- Print / Add / Edit / Delete - BKPR- Backup rule(s) - BKPS- Backup schedule(s)
Add a backup rule, and schedule it:
Usage:
- NEW BKPR <ruleNumber> FTP <IPadd> <login> <pwd> <path> [<numOfVers>] [name]
- NEW BKPS <scheduleNumber> <ruleNumber> [<freq> <day> <hour> <minute>]
You may have to "OUT" the schedule to "OUT" the backup rule. This may have to be done to get rid of the path paramaters of the backup rule. Just re-create it until the backup schedule works.
=> new bkpr 2 pbx 192.168.0.20 admin 0000 \backup
The "\backup" is a directory under the FTP server directory. "admin" is the username, and "0000" is the password.
=> new bkps 1 2 a
The "a" means: 'perform automatic backups when LD 43, EDD command is invoked'. Use this to test whether the FTP backup worked, or set it for a daily schedule. We can print the Backup Schedules as follows:
=> prt bkps Number of Backup Schedules defined = 1 ---------------------------------------------------- NN Backup-Rule Frequency Day Hour Minute ---------------------------------------------------- 1 2 Auto
We can print the Backup Rules as follows:
=> prt bkpr
Number of Backup Rules defined = 2
----------------------------------------------------

We can also edit the schedule to do monthly backups for backup rules 1 and 2.
=> prt bkps Number of Backup Schedules defined = 2 ---------------------------------------------------- NN Backup-Rule Frequency Day Hour Minute ---------------------------------------------------- 1 2 Monthly 2 0 0 2 1 Monthly 1 0 0 =>
You should see the following at the end of an edd in ld 43:
