+  * Backup and Restore can be useful but only seems to be reliable when versions of everything are the same.  Different Distro versions, different asterisk versions etc will trip it up and make a huge mess.
+  * In the event you are in the situation I am in (trying to backup/restore an older system that has gone through multiple upgrades of FreePBX and such) Dave's method is far superior. There is more work for you to do but it will still save time and you come away with a clean and functioning system that you don't have to worry about.
