To backup the MySQL database, use the following commands:<br>
 
−
<pre>  mysqldump -u tbdb --password=tbdbpw --opt toolpack_0 &gt; toolpack_0_bk.sql
 
−
</pre>
 
−
Then, you need to save the "toolpack_0_bk.sql" file in a safe place.<br>
 
  
−
You can recover the database this way:<br>

−
::'''gateway''' application is for high-level call routing, like calling number and NAPs.
+

::'''toolpack_engine''' handles the protocols and media
+
−

−
::'''toolpack_sys_manager''' handles the configuration of the system
+
−

−
::'''tbstreamserver''' is used for playing and recording files; by default this application is not started. See [[How to Start Stream Server]]

+
−
::'''tblogtrace''' are log coming from the platform (TMP6400 or other)

You can change the trace level of the application here:

+
−
  Applications-> Configurations -> edit -> Log Params -> Default Trace Level
+

And then activate the new configuration.

You can get the files directly from the server running Toolpack at this location:
