Hello everyone,
I want to make backups for my allstar system
I have several private repeaters on several mountains
Is there a way to do remote backup backup( from a distance) "maybe in SSH mode"
can we make a backup every week? Which method should I use?
5 NODES private
Thank you for your help to you all

There's not really much to backup. I'd use a cron job to rsync the
/etc/asterisk directory which is where the configs are stored. This way it's
not going to copy anything unless it's changed.
If you want to get advanced with rsync, it's easy to make it keep daily
backups with hard links over the last n days.

There is a backup system in app_rpt. It’s documented at https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Backup

Thank you all for your help ’
OK if I understand correctly.
I use WINSCP and in etc / asterisk
I created a new file using the right clik
thereafter I past the info into this file which I added…
NODE=1415
PASSWORD=club
ENABLE=1
“And save”
Now how can I do it with Cron job?
always with WINSCP I’m going to the var / spool / cron files
now how do I do the automatic execution of the backup?
Thank you for your help to you all
Grately appreciated

It’s unlikely you’ll need to cron backups as the config files seldom change. Once you set up you node and back it up, you’ll only need to subsequently backup as you make changes to your config.
The node number you show 1415 is a private node number. The back up script cannot login in with that node number. You must use a registered node and it’s issued password to use the backup server. However, if you have a registered node on that server and you set your backup configuration file to use that node, the backup script will back all nodes (including private ones) on that server.
The file name you have chosen for you backup configuration will not work. The name must be savenode.conf. I refer you to the backup documentation on our WiKi at https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Backup
If you’re not all that hot about using the Linux command line, or you don’t have a public node, you can simply copy all the files in /etc/asterisk to a safe place on your hard drive with winscp. That makes a perfectly adequate backup of your node(s). Also be sure to look at the asl-menu built into ASL 1.01.

Hello Tim,
OK, thank you there I understand a little better, it means with a private NODE that is not registered on Allstar Link, can not do backup
so I have to do them manually
Thank you I understand better
Have a good day

Although this solution is a bit techie, I don’t think it was suggested. If you’d like though you can use Git. I think this is very appropriate for Allstar as you can version your configs, see what changes you’ve made, revert to previous configs and even create a new branch to try some new configs without messing with your production configs. You can even sign up a free bitbucket account and and store your repo there. It’ll take a little bit of effort to learn but it’s not impossible and you can use it for other things too.
Take care,
