IPO Backup

[VOiDDude]

Has anyone a method to make a backup of the IPO NOT using the manager application ? We want something to make scheduled backups of the system.

Nothing changes unless you use manager to receive the config first, in which case poof you've just taken a backup. Unless you count things like login and DND states, but those are trivial and will have changed by the time you want to do a restore of any backup taken the previous night.

Setup your backup process to backup whatever is in the manager folder (or set the working directory for config files to be a folder that contains other stuff that you want backed up). So what if you wind up backing the exact same config file up several days in a row? You'll always have the latest config on your backup medium.

If you visit the Files sections of the Yahoo IP Office forum, you'll find the start of a trail of batch and VB files that were able to backup the configuration file from a system.

Its all done by TFTP, so the key is finding the right TFTP string. If you run Manager and keep the TFTPLog window open when you load a config you'll see everything you need.

Part of the string is based on the encrypted version of the system password.
