Server Address: Enter the address of your new MikoPBX server.
Mode: SFTP mode
Port: 22
Username: The SSH username for your new MikoPBX server.
Password: The SSH password for your new MikoPBX server.
The path on the server: "/storage/usbdisk1/mikopbx/backup/"
For information on SSH connection, refer to the related documentation. To start the backup immediately after saving the settings, choose the option "Start backup immediately after saving settings". You can also select the specific data you want to transfer in the corresponding section.
