While there are a number of ways to backup a complete system using disk images etc. it might be more practical and safe to backup the ipbx configuration only on a regular basis.
Customers that have a direct Taridium maintenance contract do not need to backup files manually - this is provided on a bi-weekly basis.
Configuration data for ipbx is stored almost exclusively in the ipbx MySQL database. This includes all your phone configuration, dialplan etc.
Some additional configuration data is present in other files as well. This applies especially to PSTN interface card configuration and other interconnection hardware.

Database Backup
Login to your server via SSH and run the ipbx-config script from the server command line:
[root@pbx ~]# ipbx-config
************************************************************
ipbx 2.0.0-a Configuration
(c) 2008 taridium, llc
************************************************************
Select Configuration Option:
1 <- Configure ipbx for the first time and use default
configuration
2 <- Create full database backup
3 <- Fix file system permissions
4 <- Restore default ipbx database (will erase all settings)
5 <- Reset admin password
6 <- Upgrade ipbx database (safe mode)
0 <- Exit
please enter your choice:
Select option 2 to create a full database backup. Enter your MySQL root password (ususally empty/blank). A time-stamped backup will be created in /usr/local/ipbx/backup/
Note that depending on your CDR deletion schedules this file can have a considerable size.
Database Restore
On a clean install from scratch, always run ipbx-config with option 1 to configure DB users and permissions.
To restore your database, cd into the backup directory and use the mysql client to reload the datbase:
[root@pbx ~]# mysql
remove any existing ipbx database. Note this will erase any existing configuration!
mysql> DROP DATABASE ipbx;
load the backup file:
mysql> SOURCE ipbx-backup-1228313758.sql;
make sure that the ipbx database is up-to-date by running the safe updater with ipbx-config option
Other Files
These files are usually not created on the system, but rather uploaded. It might still make sense to back them up, though.
Custom Prompts
Custom prompts are stored in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/prompts/
Music On Hold
Music on hold is stored in /var/lib/asterisk/moh-native/[class name]
PSTN Interface Cards
Relevant configuration files are stored in:
/etc/wanpipe/ /etc/zaptel.conf /etc/sysconfig/zaptel
