Hi. I know this subject has been covered in lots of places on this forum and the web, but I'm not an expert with Linux and so far everything has confused me a bit.

What I'm looking for is an idiots guide to backing up the essentials of my goautodial server. What I mean by that is a step by step type this do that kind of thing.

Essentially I want to backup all my data (not bothered about call recordings) to an off site FTP server in the event of a server failure. I'm happy to completely rebuild a new server from scratch, add phones, setup carriers those sorts of things, but then want to restore a backup from my FTP to the new goautodial server and continue from where I left off, i.e all data from lists etc, so that I can continue to run as before the failure.

Can anyone help me please with a type this do that and there you go guide?

Cheers!

If you put that in your crontab -e ... you should be good to go. To check, of course, execute this:
