updating recording_log and using ftp

[Op3r]

Hello,

I am have a bit of homework. Here's the problem, a hard drive crashed and I managed to pull out the recordings. Now I am using an ftp server to ftp my recordings to a recording server. So I am now thinking how to update the recording_log to reflect the path of the recordings. Is it possible? as I am also going to upload all the recordings from 1 more asterisk server to the recording/archive server.

I would probably write a perl script to traverse the list of recordings and use the filename to find their matching records in the database and update their paths.

how about just putting the recordings back to the monitorDONE folder and use the ftp script to upload the recordings to the archive server? is this an optimal way to do it?

[mflorell]

That might work, if you try it let us know how it goes.

ok then wish me luck!!!!!!

if I use the ftp script will it also send the orig files to the archive server? I dont really want to lose the files on the ORIG folder because we might encounter an uncomplete recordings

[mflorell]

None of the ORIG recordings should be overwritten, and none of the scripts delete files so I don't see a problem with that.

oh ok thanks

one more, will it be possible to upload the files in the ORIG folder too?

[mflorell]

There are no included scripts that will upload the ORIG files automatically, you would have to do that manually or write a script that would do it for you.
