Hi, I’m sorry for asking here, but I have a short time to solve this issue and I have not time, at least now, for reading the RTFM. I bought a small router for doing tests, but it will take some time.
At work I received a MikroTik CCR-1036 already configured, I never used MikroTik HW and SW. I need to dump the configuration of the router in order to copy it using serial interface on another router.
If I intend correctly the backup command create a binary package for restoring config on the same router, it is not intended for transferring configuration from a router to another one. Export instead create a script file containing commands in order to re-create the configuration. The default behaviour for creating a script as a diff from the default configs, otherwise, if you use argument verbose it include the default configs too.
Now I’m working on the same router, I created a dump with backup for “backup” purpose. I tried this:
- system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes
- restore backup on the router
- /export verbose and copied commands on a file
- system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes
- the system resets and reboots
- login
- paste the commands copied above
But I do not have the same behaviour as I had using backup binary file.
Am I missing something?
Thanks, Pietro.
