[App_rpt-users] Asterisk 1538 update to 1.01

[Mike]

A quick backup assumes root. use sudo if/where needed.

cd /etc/asterisk

mkdir bk

cp *.* /etc/asterisk/bk

Now copies of all the files are there in /etc/asterisk/bk

look to make sure your files are there beforehand.

to copy back

cp /etc/asterisk/bk/*.* /etc/asterisk

I am assuming you are not doing a upgrade method that is destructive to 
the data on the whole HDD.

Best to copy your .conf files off disk somewhere beforehand.

Using a GUI program like winscp makes this much easier and faster.

But suggest you also look-up for online linux how-to's for file 
manipulation.
