Asterisk's whole state (dialplan, pjsip devices, voicemail, recordings,
.env with its coturn credential, docker-compose.yml) already lives under
one self-contained directory, so asterisk-standalone-backup.sh just tars
it — with stop/restart safety around the tar since voicemail/spool write
continuously, and a move-aside-then-extract restore that rolls back
automatically if extraction fails. Written into the install directory at
both fresh-install and update time via _asterisk_write_standalone_backup_script().
Output defaults to ~/asterisk-backups/, deliberately outside ~/docker/, so
a Kopia backup of the box doesn't also back up a backup-of-itself. Meant
for a quick pre-change snapshot or moving this PBX to a new host without
standing up the full backup stack first.
Documented in the generated README's new "Standalone backup/restore"
section. Tested against a mocked EA_DIR (fake docker/docker compose,
config/spool/voicemail files) confirming backup produces a correct tar and
restore replaces content correctly with rollback on extraction failure.
