For anyone and @dicko that has played with storing records remotely, what do you think the best strategy is? CEL and Monitor (if you record many calls) obviously are the big disk space hogs. So I'm looking at storing these on a remote disk system. I'm thinking that this will allow me to not only save a lot of disk space and potentially speed up a PBX, but could also be utilized for doing failovers. If I've got a hosted PBX on Vultr for example, I could theoretically have a failover server on Digital Ocean. Then if I kick over to the failover server, they'd still have access to the records. I'm contemplating whether to have the CDR on the remote or not as well and I'm just wondering how others have dealt with this scenario. I think the Mixmon should write to /remote/asterisk/site1/monitor - and if I write the CDR's they'd need to have a different SQL table for each server. If CDR records are kept on the PBX, then we'd still have access to everything even if the remote goes away, but then I'd need to sync the CDR to the failover if that happens.
Anyhow - just looking to open a discussion to see what others thing that have contemplated these scenarios.
