Hi,

Can you please guide for restroing backup configuration from RB3011i backup file to RB4011i, as the 3011 is not working, and available router is Rb4011i

Please confirm if can i restore configuration into RB4011 from the back up file of RB3011i.

You can’t use a backup file for restoring to another device (other then itself I thought), you have to have an export instead. If you have that, you can import it into the new device.

3

Even tried that with exporting file with ***.txt but when i tried to paste it into desired device, some extra text was pasted too, every time (even with different text editor), and configuration is not executed for that reason.

Instead of pasting, just copy the exported config file on the RB4011 device and perform:

/import file=thenameoftheconfigfile

5

Copy the file to a notepad, the cut and past part by part to the terminal of the new router. If some goes wrong, you can see what part you have pasted and fix the errors.

6

You can use /import file=thenameoftheconfigfile verbose=yes to see where the import stops. After correcting and re-uploading config file, you can restart import with /import file=thenameoftheconfigfile verbose=yes from-line=errorlinenumber

Tried 100 times to use “import verbose” as there is “export verbose”. Oh no! It is “verbose=yes”.
