SCRIPT!!!

/system script add name=backup source={/export file=([/system identity get name] . “-” .
[:pick [/system clock get date] 7 11] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 0 3] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 4 6]);
/tool e-mail send to=backups@domain.com subject=([/system identity get name] . " Backup " .
[/system clock get date]) file=([/system identity get name] . “-” . [:pick [/system clock get date] 7 11] .
[:pick [/system clock get date] 0 3] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 4 6] . “.rsc”); :delay 10;
/file rem [/file find name=([/system identity get name] . “-” . [:pick [/system clock get date] 7 11] .
[:pick [/system clock get date] 0 3] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 4 6] . “.rsc”)];
:log info (“System Backup emailed at " . [/sys cl get time] . " " . [/sys cl get date])}
{
:global namE;
:set namE (”<“.[/sys identity get name].”@domain.com>“);
/tool e-mail set server=192.168.0.2 from=$namE;
:put $namE;

I’d start by simply replacing the “from=$namE” with “from=” to see if it’s a function call or variable issue. You could also try a “:log info $namE;” right before the call to see what is actually in the $namE variable in case you have something wrong there.

I also think in my scripts that the external “<” and “>” in the from address are not required.

Cheers, Dominic.

Thanks friend I include “:log info $namE;” and in the log it told me the from address was having space in between and after changing it its no longer bringing the error in log…

Thank you so much…if you can share the script that’s working for you that will be great too…http://forum.mikrotik.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=9&t=60389#http://forum.mikrotik.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=9&t=60389#http://forum.mikrotik.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=9&t=60389#

no worries. TBH I use email in most of my scripts for failover monitoring and other such stuff … glad you are sorted. Dominic.

Hello tamilmaran

Iam copy and mod script and make my script to make backup and export all RB configurations

: local mailserver [:resolve mail.domain.com.ar];

:log info "Starting Backup Script..."
:global backupfileA ([/system identity get name] . ".backup")
:global backupfileB ([/system identity get name] . ".script")
:global efrom ([/system identity get name] . "@domain.com.ar")
:if ([/file find name=$backupfileA] != "") do={/file rem $backupfileA};
:if ([/file find name=$backupfileB] != "") do={/file rem $backupfileB};
:delay 2s
/system backup save name=$backupfileA;
/system export file=$backupfileB;
:log info "Waiting 5s for backup to complete..."
:delay 5s
:log info "Backup being emailed..."
/tool e-mail send body=Backup1/2 subject=([/system identity get name] . " Backup1/2") to=dest-email@domain.com.ar from=email@domain.com.ar file=$backupfileA server=$mailserver password=PASSWORD user=email@domain.com.ar
/tool e-mail send body=Backup2/2 subject=([/system identity get name] . " Backup2/2") to=dest-email@domain.com.ar from=email@domain.com.ar file=$backupfileB server=$mailserver password=PASSWORD user=email@domain.com.ar
:log info "Waiting 5s for send-email complete..."
:delay 5s
:log info "Finished Backup Script!"

Please replace email@domain.com.ar and PASSWORD for SMTP auth and dest-email@domain.com.ar for dest address/.
