In SERVERware 4.X, there is a Geo Redundancy feature implemented which allows you to start VPS on different geographical location, in case of a disaster on primary DC. More information you can find on the following link: GEO Redundancy
In order to backup&restore PBXware VPS from SERVERware 4 to the off-site standalone PBXware you should follow these steps:
SSH to the SERVERware Host with command
ssh swadmin@SERVERwareHost-IP -p2222
- Obtain root access with sudo -s command and enter correct root password
Stop VPS with
sw vps-stop -n VPSNAME
- Navigate to opt VPS directory with:
cd /home/lxc/VPSNAME/rootfs/opt/
- Tar the httpd and pbxware with:
tar czvf backup.tgz httpd pbxware
- Copy this backup to the off-site with scp or rsync
Example of SCP command running from off-site PBXware:
scp -P 2222 swadmin@192.168.1.20:/home/lxc/VPSNAME/rootfs/opt/backup.tgz /opt
SSH to the off-site PBXware
Navigate to the /opt directory with:
cd /opt
Stop PBXware services with:
/opt/pbxware/sh/stop /opt/pbxware/httpd/sh/stop
- Remove pbxware and httpd folders, to prevent data corruption, from /opt directory with following commands (please be careful as this command needs to be ran on offsite PBXware ONLY)
rm -rf pbxware/ rm -rf httpd/
- Unpack backup with:
tar --numeric-owner -xvf PATH_TO_BACKUP where PATH_TO_BACKUP is a full path to your backup file.
- Start PBXware services with:
/opt/pbxware/sh/start /opt/httpd/sh/start
NOTE: Please make sure that everything is working properly before using the migrated VPS as a production system.
Any issues that may arise on the migrated VPS as a result of missed steps during the procedure will not be supported.
Additional note: Please make sure you contact Account Manager to provide you with new license #, or adjust the current one.
