Restore¶

It’s always good to have a restore method of a backup in place. Here are the steps to a basic restore method with FusionPBX.

Note

It is important to know if your installation is from package or source as the paths are different for FreeSWITCH. Always test the backups and restore methods on test machines first.

To create the script use an editor such as vi or nano.
Copy/Paste from the code block below and save the file as fusionpbx-restore.sh
Replace zzz with your database password
chmod + x fusionpbx-restore.sh and then run the script ./fusionpbx-restore.sh
edit the script as needed and run this script from the server you are restoring on.

#!/bin/sh
now=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
ssh_server=x.x.x.x
database_host=127.0.0.1
database_port=5432
export PGPASSWORD="zzz"

#run the remote backup
ssh -p 22 root@$ssh_server "nice -n -20 /etc/cron.daily/./fusionpbx-backup.sh"

#delete freeswitch logs older 7 days
find /var/log/freeswitch/freeswitch.log.* -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

#synchronize the backup directory
#rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/var/backups/fusionpbx /var/backups
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql /var/backups/fusionpbx
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/var/www/fusionpbx /var/www
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/etc/fusionpbx /etc
find /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/etc/freeswitch/ /etc
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/var/lib/freeswitch/storage /var/lib/freeswitch
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/var/lib/freeswitch/recordings /var/lib/freeswitch
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/usr/share/freeswitch/scripts /usr/share/freeswitch
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 22' root@$ssh_server:/usr/share/freeswitch/sounds /usr/share/freeswitch

echo "Restoring the Backup"
#extract the backup from the tgz file
#tar -xvpzf /var/backups/fusionpbx/backup_$now.tgz -C /

#remove the old database
psql --host=$database_host --port=$database_port  --username=fusionpbx -c 'drop schema public cascade;'
psql --host=$database_host --port=$database_port  --username=fusionpbx -c 'create schema public;'
#restore the database
pg_restore -v -Fc --host=$database_host --port=$database_port --dbname=fusionpbx --username=fusionpbx /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql/fusionpbx_pgsql_$now.sql

#restart freeswitch
service freeswitch restart
echo "Restore Complete";
