FAQ

Q
What format it gets downloaded in Elastix?

Q
How I need to perform a remote update as the client is in the next State or Country?
A
Still perform an image backup. Get the client to pickup a external hard drive and send him a copy of say Clonezilla and a step by step guide to performing a backup. I have done this on a couple of occasions (for new clients with existing Elastix system) and they either got a local IT guy to follow instructions or as most with any basic sense, they can do it themselves.
Q
How Can I upgrade the individual modules in Freepbx in Elastixs?
A
Yes, these are within the Freepbx framework. For instance, say you are on Freepbx 2.8.1.4 and there are updates to the Core and say the Queues Module, you can generally upgrade these safely. However if you see that there is a 2.9 upgrade tool, don't use this. Wait for Elastix to release Freepbx 2.9.
