Using dnl_backup_tool

CDR Management

Assuming you are using the default installation path, then you can find the configuration in the following file:

/opt/denovo/dnl_backup_tool/conf/dnl_backup_tool.conf

The following fields let you configure how many days you want to keep CDRs in local disk.

basepath	/opt/denovo/dnl_softswitch/cdr/

# Compress CDR all data older than this value (in days)
# Default: 0 - do not compress .cdr files
keep_cdr	3

# Remove all archives older than this value (in days)
# Default: 0 - do not remove old archives
keep_archives	10

Within the same config file, you can setup Google cloud storage as follows:

### Gcloud configuration


# Authentication type (service, oauth2)
# Default: service
gcloud_type		service

# (M) Bucket to use
gcloud_backup_bucket	your_bucket_name

#   - specify client email, secret and refresh token 
#

gcloud_secret		RkLYIe3k5tfffhJbi96Kut

If you prefer to use FTP for your cold storage, then you can setup the following parameters:

# (M) Authorization methods
#
# FTP:
#   - By login/password pair:
#     set *ftp_user, and *ftp_password if required
#     leave *netrc_path empty
#
#   - Using system settings:
#     provide path to .netrc file in *netrc_path
#
#   - Anonymous:

#     leave *ftp_user and *ftp_pass empty
#

After you make changes to this config file, you must restart the switch to make it effective. Here is the command to restart Class 4 backup tool:

systemctl restart dnl_backup_tool

When setup correctly, you should see CDRs being pushed to your Google Cloud bucket like below:
