Automatic daily backup of cfg files on manager 1

[ZebrAYA]

Hello

I’ve seen that IPO Manager software makes backup copies of the config every time a write operation is done.
But If no changes are done (by the admin) but by the users (via PML, eBLF, etc) how could I rescue that config?
Is there some way to program manager to make at least a copy on a daily basis?
Thanks!

You can create a batch file and schedule the batch file.

The batch file contains one line:
tftp -i 192.168.42.1 get "config/t%$'~ q" myConfig.cfg
t%$'~ q = encrypted password.
If you did not change the applications password in the security settings then this should work for you.

Delta server has a copy of the config. You could copy that file.

 

[hibroth]

Very interesting gmgbg, how to do that ?

 

[intrigrant]

If you restart the DeltaServer service it will pull a new config from ipo

 

[hibroth]

that's clear, but where is it stored, and which file name?

 

[Notsetinstone]

Its in the delta server folder under the avaya folder

Think you setup Delta server to e-mail that config if it loose contact with IP Office

 

[tlpeter]

DId you have a look in Delta server ?
Yes you can set up emailing the config and even the vmpro mdb file but i am not sure if it is on loosing contact, it does on any fault

I do this to grab my config, voicemails, and database. This bailed me out BIG time the last time my IPOffice went bellyup:


@echo off
REM Daily Backup of PBX COnfig File, WAVs and dB
c:
cd\
net use k: \\server\share\upgrades\avaya\bkup
copy /Y "c:\program files\avaya\ip office\manager\my_cfg.cfg" k:\*.*
copy /Y "C:\Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\Voicemail Pro\VMData.mdb" k:\db\*.*
xcopy /S /Y "C:\Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\Voicemail Pro\VM\WAVS" k:\wav
net use k: /Delete



I then use Windows scheduler to run it.

sdavidcook,

iwas just playing around with doing this and i can manually run these commands but how do i save it? i see where you can add a scheduled task in windows but how do i get the commands in there? also, sinceim doing this on a loal drive i dont need the net use lines, correct? what are the first two lilnes all about? i started at changing the directory to do it manually.

 

[tlpeter]

You are just copying the cfg file from the pc running manager not from the ipoffice
It is good to keep a recent config for backup but this will not pull a config from the ipoffice !!!

create a new text document, paste in the info.

save as backup.bat or similar, the .bat is the important bit.

then schedule the batch file to run

 

[TomMills]

but as usual tlpeter is correct, it only makes a backup of the manager backup, with is only as up to date as the last config merge

 

[tlpeter]

Just install deltaserver and connect it to the ipoffice

Make two batch files
First one with this:

net stop "CCC Delta Server"

The second one with:

net start "CCC Delta Server"


Make a schedule task for 01:00 for the first batchfile and the second one at 01:01 for the second batchfile

This way is will pull a config every night at 01:01 and puts it in the folder c:\Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\CCC\Deltaserver

?what's a batch file? ;-)

 

[TDMorIP]

this is really great info, thanks everyone. it baffles me that avaya wouldnt build logic like this in to its software.

 

[intrigrant]

do a googlee search on DOS batch files.
it is a ancient way to do command line scripting

@intrigant

You don't need a password for the tftp batch.

Tftp -i 192.168.42.1 get config config_name.cfg


These tftp actions also work.

for the internal list type;

Tftp -i XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX get nasystem/user_list7 userlist.txt

for the external list type;

Tftp -i XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX get nasystem/dir_list directory.txt
Tftp -i XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX get nasystem/user_list2 user.txt

the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX = IP adress of IP Office

Or

for the external list type;

Tftp -i XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX get nasystem/user_list2 user.txt

@Bas :
if a system is correctly programmed then the default passwords are changed and then you cannot retrieve the config through tftp without a password.
But even if the password has changed there are ways to find out the password in the registry after connecting DeltaServer to a IP Office (no password required!):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avaya\CCCServer\SETUP\ConnectPassword
this holds the encrypted password : $t%$'~ q = password
With the encrypted password you can use tftp to download or upload the config.

This is a vulnerability wich exists from the start with the introduction of the Argent Office and Avaya should really do something about it.

Avaya is monitoring this and i hope i will not get my account blocked as happended to the user Provider once just for publication of the following:

Here is a code snippet i once build just for the fun of it in C# wich does the job, the string Encrypted_passw holds the encrypted password and Password gives back the uncrypted password:

string test = Encrypted_passw;
int EP_length = test.Length;
PassWord = "";
for (int i = 0; i < EP_lengte; i++)
{
char TEST_Char = test;
int TestNmbr = System.Convert.ToSByte(TEST_Char);
int TEST_Charnmbr = System.Convert.ToInt32(TEST_Char);
TEST_Charnmbr = ((TEST_Charnmbr + 13 + EP_length) - i) + 1;
if (TEST_Charnmbr > 127)
{
TEST_Charnmbr = TEST_Charnmbr - 96;
}
char Char1 = System.Convert.ToChar(TEST_Charnmbr);
PassWord = PassWord + Char1;
}

I do not own credits for this, my idea comes from another published document on the internet:
