Hello
I've been reading up on how to do a backup but I found a note that indicates backups are done automatically on a daily basis. I haven't set this up, so I presume this is a function of FusionPBX. When I go into /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql I see a "fusionpbx_pgsql_2022-03-16" file.

Questions
1.) Does FusionPBX automatically create a dialy backup and store it for six days?
2.) Is the backup stored in the /var/backups/fusionpbx/postgresql directory?
3.) If I was migrating to a new machine, would the "fusionpbx_pgsql_2022-03-16" file be the one I use to restore my data base?
4.) I don't see any backup settings in my Web UI. What do I need to do to enable that feature? Is this the document I would use?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Set by default on new installs FusionPBX will set a cron job to run fusionpbx-backup. You can review this script to see what it is doing and the retention set on it. The script is located in "/etc/cron.daily/fusionpbx-backup"

Hope this helps!
