AstRecipes » Backup of an Asterisk system
This quick and dirty shell script will backup the most important stuff of an Asterisk installation and create one big file made up of many smaller files. I assume you have an Asterisk box with a quite standard installation path and XC-AST installed too (therefore you want to backup Tomcat and MySQL).ora=`date '+%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S'`
