# Backup

It\'s always good to have a backup method in place. Here are the steps
to a basic backup method with FusionPBX. The install script on Debian
will automatically copy this backup script to
/etc/cron.daily/fusionpbx-backup. Backups get stored in
/var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql by default.

## Command Line

Be sure to change the password by replacing the zzzzzzzz in
PGPASSWORD=\"zzzzzzzz\" with your database password. You can get the
password from /etc/fusionpbx/config.php.

```
    cd /etc/cron.daily
    nano fusionpbx-backup
```

```
    #!/bin/sh

    export PGPASSWORD="zzz"
    db_host=127.0.0.1
    db_port=5432

    now=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
    mkdir -p /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql

    echo "Backup Started"

    #delete postgres backups
    find /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql/fusionpbx_pgsql* -mtime +4 -exec rm {} \;

    #delete the main backup
    find /var/backups/fusionpbx/*.tgz -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

    #backup the database
    pg_dump --verbose -Fc --host=$db_host --port=$db_port -U fusionpbx fusionpbx --schema=public -f /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql/fusionpbx_pgsql_$now.sql

    #package
    #tar --exclude='/var/lib/freeswitch/recordings/*/archive' -zvcf /var/backups/fusionpbx/backup_$now.tgz /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql/fusionpbx_pgsql_$now.sql /var/www/fusionpbx /usr/share/freeswitch/scripts /var/lib/freeswitch/storage /var/lib/freeswitch/recordings /etc/fusionpbx /etc/freeswitch /usr/share/freeswitch/sounds/music/

    #source
    #tar -zvcf /var/backups/fusionpbx/backup_$now.tgz /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql/fusionpbx_pgsql_$now.sql /var/www/fusionpbx /usr/local/freeswitch/scripts /usr/local/freeswitch/storage /usr/local/freeswitch/recordings /etc/fusionpbx /usr/local/freeswitch/conf /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/music/
```

## sync certificate directory 
```
rsync -avz -e \'ssh -p 22\' root@\$ssh[server]{#server}:/etc/dehydrated/ /etc 
rsync -avz -e \'ssh -p 22\' root@\$ssh[server]{#server}:/usr/src/fusionpbx-install.sh/debian/resources/letsencrypt.sh /usr/src/fusionpbx-install.sh/debian/resources/

rsync -avz -e \'ssh -p 22\' root@\$ssh[server]{#server}:/etc/dehydrated/config/ /etc/dehydrated/
rsync -avz -e \'ssh -p 22\' root@\$ssh[server]{#server}:/etc/dehydrated/hook.sh /etc/dehydrated/
rsync -avz -e \'ssh -p 22\' root@\$ssh[server]{#server}:/etc/dehydrated/certs/ /etc/dehydrated/certs
rsync -avz -e \'ssh -p 22\' root@\$ssh[server]{#server}:/usr/src/dehydrated /usr/src/
```

To save the file press ctrl + x then y to save it.

You should have the script ready to execute. (Default the script will
use FreeSWITCH package paths. If you have an older install using source
be sure to change this by commenting the package line #22 and uncomment
the source line #25.)

## Crontab (optional)

Files in /etc/cron.daily will execute automatically if they don\'t have
an extension like .sh for this reason the backup script was renamed from
fusionpbx-backup.sh to fusionpbx-backup and then it runs nightly without
needing to use crontab.

Setting crontab -e
```
    crontab -e
    Choose 1 for nano
    Goto the last blank line and paste in the next line.
    0 0 * * * /bin/sh /etc/cron.daily/fusionpbx-backup.sh
    press enter then save and exit.
```

Once this is complete you will have the backup ready to execute by
./fusionpbx-backup or from the daily cron job.
