SMB/CIFS Mount for Call Recordings Backup

[mrkingster]

Hi,

I am using the GUI backup to make a backup of the system without the call recordings and that gets sent to our secondary servers (using failover setup).

I want to backup the call recordings separately by mounting a SMB/CIFS share to a windows machine. The GUI only seems to support 1 backup job so I was thinking about having mounting the windows share and having a cron job with script to backup the call recordings using rsync or something similar.

I am having issues mounting the share:

root@pbx01:/mnt# mkdir -p /mnt/pbxrecordings
root@pbx01:/mnt# mount -t cifs //172.xx.xx.xxx/pbxrecordings/ /mnt/pbxrecordings
mount: /mnt/pbxrecordings: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.

I have tried with -o and some username and password alternatives but the same result.

I am unable to install cifs-utils which might be the cause of the issue I am having.

Any suggestions? And is this a sensible approach or am I missing a better solution?

Reliased this post should have been in the Enterprise forum...

Will use rsync instead to handle the call logs. Keep it simple.

Did you come right here?

Recording archiving in the storage section. Use FTP to send it to your other machine.

thank you. Does the archiving move the recordings to the destination and not copy them?

Yes
