Summary:                    [patch] On installations where /etc/asterisk is a
symbolic link (such as Astlinux) backups through the GUI do not work properly
Description: 
Where /etc/astersisk is a symbolic link, the tar file generated by the
backup contains only the symbolic link to /etc/asterisk, not the files
within that directory.

This issue only occurs on systems where /etc/asterisk is a symbolic link,
such as Astlinux.  In these cases, the fault is reproducible all the time.
