ALERT NEW Incredible Backup Required

[wardmundy]

For those of you that have installed the 70 new FreePBX modules for Incredible PBX 13-13, be advised that the old incrediblebackup and incrediblerestore scripts will no longer work. The reason is because FreePBX now uses some InnoDB tables which means that copying MySQL databases directly from disk is no longer reliable.

New versions of Incredible Backup and Restore are now available. Installation instructions are available here. These new scripts will work with BOTH old and newer versions of Incredible PBX so they are worth installing whether you have loaded the new FreePBX modules or not.

ALERT: If you installed this update before 9:55 am EST on Feb. 27, 2019, please reinstall. Apologies for late-minute bug in restore script only.

We've successfully tested migrating a CentOS 6 Incredible PBX 13-13.10 Full Enchilada OpenVZ build in the Cloud to a CentOS 6 base install of Incredible PBX 13-13.10 running on VirtualBox. Simply create /backup folder on new platform and copy backup image there. Then run /root/incrediblerestore13. No anomalies.

NOTE: This procedure cannot be used to migrate from FreePBX 12 to newer FreePBX 13 platform! Versions of Asterisk and FreePBX must match on old and new platforms.

Apparently, I can't open the "binary" file, even though it's clearly a shell script.

Which file??

Try a fresh download:

cd /root
wget http://incrediblepbx.com/incrediblebackup13.tar.gz
tar zxvf incrediblebackup13.tar.gz
rm -f incrediblebackup13.tar.gz

tar zxvf incrediblebackup13.tar.gz -- I think this should be

tar -zxvf incrediblebackup13.tar.gz note the hyphen before the zxvf

What I think you did was tarred a blank file instead of untarring what you needed.

As Ward said try it again, but watch the tar command.

My apologies. Not sure what came unglued, but it should be working now. Just download one more time.

Hyphen with zxvf not required.

Works now, thanks! Also, you might wanna look at the COPYING file again. It shouldn't have shell-script stuff in it.

What a mess. All fixed now with a number of last minute improvements to support fault-tolerance... coming next week with a little luck.

Just reinstall.

"70 new FreePBX modules" - New as in never before released? New or updated modules?

You're in the wrong thread, but they're new as in never before integrated into Incredible PBX. FreePBX obviously didn't update all of them overnight.

I'm sure im doing something wrong here, but when i do the incredible backup 13 it goes good and i get the backup file, move it to the remote server and put it in a /backup/RH-2019.08.15.20.46-A13.24.1-F13.0-I13-13.10.tar.gz and then run the following command, it doesn't go anywhere. Just get the message displayed below.
Can anyone assist here?
Thanks

The answer is in front of you.

you entered --- /root/incrediblerestore13

the script is telling you to use --- /root/incrediblerestore13 /backup/RH-2019.08.15.20.46-A13.24.1-F13.0-I13-13.10.tar.gz

as an example run /root/add-ip -- this script need parameters too like the name you want to call the file and the IP (/root/add-ip myhome 12.34.56.78)

I have never tried incredible backup (or restore) myself -- never got the freepbx one to work [didn't understand it]) and with the size of my extensions list and all my custom greetings, voicemail greetings, custom IVRs, MOH, etc. would the Incredible Backup/restore save all of this or just the basics (extensions, DIDS, Trunks).

Mr Ward, in the script text if usage is still showing as incrediblebackup (or incrediblerestore) instead of the 13 versions of the command, should this not be updated to reflect the new command?
