So... This system was set up for a non-profit back in, oh, I'd say around Oct 2009. That is the date on the ISO image of PBX-IN-A-FLASH, version 1.4 I think.
We did a bit of add-on work, integrating some AAstra scripts and things, and then it went into long hibernation mode. It is running in an old Xen VM. I am no longer there full-time, but I'd like to help them move this to a standalone machine, even upgrading it if it could be done without breaking everything horribly. It is not strictly a PIAF 1.4 install any longer, as they did update modules/FreePBX all the way to 2.6.0.7 or thereabouts.
I remember when it was set up we installed Mondo Backup, and it has been faithfully making backup imjanges. I know that when it was set up, we tested doing a restore of those and it worked. I have spent quite a bit of time tonight TRYING to restore this to a machine and I can't get past the disk setup... The VM has /dev/hda I think and the machine I'm using is /dev/sda, and it won't format the disks, or I just can't find the right magic for the mountlist editing stage.
So, any help woudl be appreciated on how to move such an ancient install, and maybe even upgrading things, but without breaking it horribly. The VM host is having some strange networking issues which is why we want to get this off of there, calls have been breaking up over the last week or so, so timing is not as open-ended as like, it is more like ASAP.
Thanks for any pointers!
