In real-world PBX environments, even small configuration changes can have system-wide impact. Whether preparing for an update, testing new call flows, or making adjustments across tenants, having a reliable way to capture the system state before changes are applied is critical.
On March 19, 2026, we released V70 of the Vodia PBX, building on the dependability and stability of V69.5 and introducing a range of new capabilities, available for both enterprise phone system deployments and SMB communication environments.
As part of the release of V70, we are taking a closer look at some of these features, including capabilities such as real-time alerts and WhatsApp integration. This includes snapshots, or PBX snapshots, which refer to point-in-time "pictures" of a system.
PBX Snapshots in V70
Snapshots are simple captures of the current state of a PBX - they can be used for disaster recovery and quick restoration and are available with V70:
- The first version uses a file system, giving users a straightforward way to recover or “roll back” a system
- Before generating a snapshot, the system automatically checks if there’s more than 20 percent free disk space available
- Restoring a snapshot restarts the PBX
- Before restoration, the system automatically creates a backup of the current configuration (this auto-backup is added to the snapshots list if recovery is necessary)
- Snapshots are stored in the PBX working directory
Please note, the snapshots feature of V70 is supported exclusively on Linux operating systems.
