Restore the same server

Warning

If the target server has a new IP (the backup was done on a machine with different IP), the the vnrestore script will log an error message due to VoipNow services being unable to start. This is normal - VoipNow components will not start properly until the database is updated (the old IP must be replaced with the new IP).

Debugging

Both the vnbackup and the vnrestore scripts read the DEBUG variable in the vnbackup and the vnrestore scripts read the DEBUG variable in backup.conf. If set to to yes, additional debug information will be logged in the console.

Also, both both vnbackup and vnrestore  and vnrestore will create lock files under under /var/lock/.vnbackup and vnbackup and /var/lock/.vnbackup. If their execution is not properly ended (meaning the script is stopped forcefully or an error is encountered), these lock files remain in place and will block further operations.
