Check to see if your FreeSWITCH init script is deleting the SQLite databases in the db/ directory or if the db directory is mounted on a tmpfs fs.

 

Or alternatively, you can store the voicemail db inside PostgreSQL or via an ODBC databse.

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Accessing existing voicemail after FS restart

 

Hi Ken,

 

Thanks for the reply. voicemail_default.db seems to get deleted and regenerated everytime I restart freeswitch. Is there a way I could avoid this?

Its not just the sound files, its the meta data thats in the voicemail.db file in the freeswitch/db directory

If you are deleting that file or tryimg to store it on a ram drive that doesnt survive a reboot you wont have voicemails later
