To do a backup and restore of TELCOware, it must be done by sshing into the TELCOware and then following these procedures:

Backup


1. Navigate to home folder

   cd /home

2. Stop all services

   servers/telcoware/sh/stop
   servers/telcoware/httpd/sh/stop

3. Create tar file

   tar czf backup.tgz servers/telcoware/

4. Start services

   servers/telcoware/sh/start
   servers/telcoware/httpd/sh/start

backup.tgz will be in home directory.



Restore


1. Navigate to home folder

   cd /home

2. Stop all services

   servers/telcoware/sh/stop
   servers/telcoware/httpd/sh/stop

3a. remove TELCOware folder

   rm -rf servers/telcoware

   --- THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE ---

3b. another solution would be to move/rename TELCOware folder

   mv servers/telcoware servers/telcoware_old

4. Extract backup.tgz  (make sure backup.tgz is in /home/ folder)

   tar xzf backup.tgz

5. Start services

   servers/telcoware/sh/start
   servers/telcoware/httpd/sh/start

NOTE: Above procedure works only if TELCOware is installed as a standalone system on the machine. If you have it installed under SERVERware vserver, it can be backuped up and restored from SERVERware as a vserver instance.
