Backup/Export Dude Syslog Filter Rules?

RouterOS General
1

I have been playing with The Dude syslog filters rules and have a large enough (finely tuned enough) list that I realize it would be nice to have a backup.

I see the rules in /dude/dude.db-wal but it is not easily readable.

Is there a way to backup or export these rules?


Here’s what I have (reminder to all: The order of the rules is critical – just like firewall rules in general):

Full backup or nothing.

/dude export-db

Thank you.

So it's a backup (in backup/restore format only), and not a human-readable form?

I see that running export-db also wipes clean the log entries from The Dude client.
