Description

This article describes the abnormal behavior when a remote report backup is scheduled for the Call Center Data Service using the SFTP protocol.

Fortivoice uploads the backup folder to the remote server, but the folder is empty without any files. 

Scope FortiVoice v7.0.5.
Solution

The folder of a report backup of the Call Center Data Service uploaded with the SFTP protocol is empty.

This issue began after the upgrade to FortiVoice with firmware v7.0.5 GA.

 

  1. Go to the admin GUI, at Call Center -> Configuration -> Data Service -> Remote,
    or at System -> Maintenance -> Scheduled backup -> Remote Backup, choose SFTP as transfer protocol
    Note: Configure SFTP-Server parameters.
  2. Configure a scheduled backup.
  3. Check the folder/files at the SFTP server after the scheduled backup time.
  4. A folder was created, but no file was in the folder.

 

SFTP-Server:

 

qa@test-ubuntu-desktop:~/test1$
qa@test-ubuntu-desktop:~/test1$ ls
FO3HET3616000031
qa@test-ubuntu-desktop:~/test1$ cd FO3HET3616000031/
qa@test-ubuntu-desktop:~/test1/FO3HET3616000031$ ls -al
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 qa qa 4096 Dec 9 16:35 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 qa qa 4096 Dec 9 16:35 ..
qa@test-ubuntu-desktop:~/test1/FO3HET3616000031$

 

If the report backup is uploaded with FTP protocol, the backup folder with all files in it is stored successfully.
