Backup/Restore missing in Manager's Manual

Vicibox 3.04 Preload 64bit
Manager's Manual for 2.4

Despite some of the posts I've read there is no mention of Backup in this version of the manager's manual.
My crontab -l has no backup example.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Since I am having challenges with RAID, i feel it is important I backup at least daily around 2am.
Thank you

That's because it's a Manager manual and not an Administrator manual. We do cover Backup and Restore instructions in our Administrator training classes and the workbook, and it has been posted here on the forums before, although I don't have the link handy.

I respectfully appreciate Moderator, mflorrell attempt to help.

There are several posts that claim the Backup/Restore procedure is covered in the Manual,
I assumed it was the Manager's Manual, the one I purchased.
I cannot find the Administrator's Manual at the same site where the Agent and Manager's Manual is found.

Does anyone know where the Administrator's manual or workbook mentioned above can be purchased, or,
perhaps a link to a post that is relevant to setting up a CRON backup strategy with or without FTP.
If the Administrator's Manual has not been written, I mean no disrespect, I can only go with what I know and
the previous post vaguely alludes to a document that may help myself or other newcomers.

I appreciate all the time and effort the volunteers contribute, and will gladly contribute when I can.

We don't have an Administrator's manual. We have an Administrator's Training Workbook that we give to people that attend our training sessions in Florida. Here is the backup and restore example from that workbook:

Backup Process:
- /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_backup.pl --help (to see options)
For Dialer-only in a cluster:
- /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_backup.pl --without-db --without-web –debugX

Restore Process:
- ls -lat /var/log/astguiclient/archive/
- cd /var/log/astguiclient/archive/
- tar xvfz 192.168.198.5_ALL_0.tar.gz
- cd var/log/astguiclient/archive/
- mv 192.168.198.5* /
- cd /
- ls -lat
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_VOICEMAIL_0.tar
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_CONF_0.tar
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_BIN_0.tar
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_LINUX_0.tar
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_SOUNDS_0.tar
- (check for other tar files if you used other backup options)
- gunzip 192.168.198.5asterisk0.gz
- mysql asterisk
- \. 192.168.198.5asterisk0 - quit
