All configuration data on MiRTA PBX are stored in the database. MiRTA PBX uses three databases:

  • asterisk : This is the most important one and contains all the configurations, plus some logs, like the IVR logs, the voicemail messages and the recordings
  • asteriskcdrdb : This is the repository for the call logs
  • voipmonitor : This is the standard voipmonitor database, plus a table for storing the pcaps and graphs.

You can have several backup running, maybe you can take a daily backup of the configuration and a weekly backup for recordings. You can specify the backup type and the node from which it is run.

Five types of backup are available:

  • System configuration : backing up only asterisk database, but not the recordings
  • Call History : backing up only the call history asteriskcdrdb database
  • Recordings : backing up only the re_recordings table (usually pretty huge)
  • System configuration then Call History : a combination of the first two
  • System configuration then Call History then Recordings : a combination of the first three

Scheduling can be checked also from Admin/Global Configuration/System Cronjobs

You need to specify the database access credentials. The default credentials are root/passw0rd . Database access is granted only from the local server.
