Hello,
I am looking for best upgrade path. We have a dedicated physical machine for a small medical office. 15 or so internal extensions. 1 trunk. Small simple installation, works great.
Right now we are running on: 5.211.65-16 and I'd like to update us to the latest version and also migrate us to a virtual machine on our VMWare installation. From what I have read for a small installation like this it should be fine on virtual hardware. No telephony hardware.
I would like to do a clean installation on the VM of the FreePBX distribution. However, I've read that you cannot do a restore from a previous version. The backups created are version specific.
What is my best upgrade path or plan here? Should I take the current physical machine and run through the upgrade script bringing it to current, make a backup and then restore it to the new installed machine of the same version?
I also have commercial modules (endpoint, REST Apps). How will those get moved over to the new installation?
Thanks!
