Call recording backups - CentOS to Windows
-
I've been looking for the best, and simplest way to backup and transfer call recordings from a remote FreePBX box, to a local Windows file server in an office. I can utilize the backup utility in FreePBX to perform the actual backup of the call recording directory in FreePBX. The next step is to transfer the compressed/zipped file to a remote file server and then automatically unzip it for people to see. I could:
-
Transfer it via FTP to an FTP server (FileZilla) at the office on a Windows box. This would involve installing FileZilla, and opening up some ports on the office firewall.
-
Transfer it via SSH to the Windows box? I know programs like WinSCP can pull files from Linux boxes, but can it be done on a schedule?
In either case, I need to be able to schedule the transfer (say weekly) and then preferably, unzip the file automatically as well so the files can be easily viewed on the network share.
There are other options as well of course, but I'd like to get the discussion going at to what options are available, and why each option is better than the other.

Yes, another thread did this last night, in fact. Putty's PSCP command line tool and WinSCP both can be scheduled to pull files. It's a simple command line command that does the pull, so you just pop that into the Windows scheduler and you are all set.

It's a busy place.
