Backup recovery problem

Hello.


I’ve created backup using script, with /system backup save name=$fname (defined earlier).

My router (ccr-1036) crashed, I got new one and I want to restore the backup, but
system backup load name=fname.backup asks for password and says the password is invalid.

How can I use the backup?

try the router password.

I tried passwords of all users defined in router - without success.

If you created the backup file before the password system got introduced I think you may have to drop to cli and look at the tab complete options for “not encrypted” or “no password” option

Also maybe need to check which user you created backup on, just incase the old box you used a “backup” user

*) backup - backups by default are encrypted now (with user password).
To use backup on older versions, you should disable encryption with dont-encrypt
flag when creating it;

its works at me. I use the admin password and no problem

My backup was made by scheduler script - and none of password worked.
I also had rsc script, so I’ve managed to recover the config, but still there was a problem.

downgrade ros (last ros still without encryption on backups) , import config and upgrade again..

then, remember to check/fix the backup script (maybe simple add.. dontencypt=yes)

Thanks
