**this is a repost from the freeswitch-users group. Just wanted to work it out in the dev group. Hello Guys, I have a question regarding how I can do the following within the FS C API. What API can I use to list the current channels and sessions? What I have already in place is a generic FS module capable of serializing any sort of C data and storing it onto another device or caching server. I then have the ability to deserialize and operate on these generic objects already in my module. What I anticipate doing is finding a path to load up the FreeSWITCH (session and channel) objects and deserialize them into a freshly started FreeSWITCH instance. Any ideas on what switch_core_session.c methods, etc. I should use and any pitfalls? My primary focus for my company is conference calling, but I'd like to make this a means to work with everything that I possibly can. As soon as I get my basic testing and instances working I'll offer up the code to bkw, mikej and anthm for review. As-is, I'm not even sure if what I'm asking is even feasible, but I think having a module like this would be a good start to fill my needs and perhaps those of the community. So again, my two questions are as follows: 1) What API can I use to enumerate through the current channels and sessions initialized and running in memory? (I'm looking to clone and serialize them and store them on a separate server). 2) Any helper methods or ways that I can re-construct the channels and sessions into memory on a freshly started instance of FreeSWITCH?
