Hi,
I have an hex s and I upgraded from beta6 to rc1.
After the reboot the config was gone and restoring a cloud backup (encrypted, 233kb if it matters) fails with no errors and no config at all after the reboot.
I tried to manually downgrade th beta6 (mipse), but the version is still rc1 after the reboot.
I can switch to v6 using system package’s update, but I can not manually update to beta6.
Questions:
Is there any way to know where backup load fails ?
Is there a way, except to restore to a chr image and re-export, to decrypt the backup file ? I have a Mac and a Linux pc, but I can get a windows machine if needed
How can I troubleshoot the failed installation of beta6 ? I never had an issue with manual up/downgrade
Thanks
Update:
I tried to restore the backup on a chr machine (beta6) and it restores to an empty config 
I also tried with routeros-backup-tools and it decrypts to garbage
Any suggestion ? Except for keeping unencrypted backups…
Thanks
Try to reset to no-defaults and then manually upload 7.1beta6 and hit the downgrade button in system->packages. Otherwise you can try to netinstall 7.1beta6 and this should be successful.
Since this is beta software, it would be advisable to not only do a .backup file but also export an .rsc backup. The changing syntax means that the backup might not restore properly in the next version.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I ended up with a full reconfiguration (and cleanup). The backup file was almost double the size of the previous one (470kb), so probably the backup got corrupted …
Thanks again
