Configuration transfer from Routerboard 600A to 1000

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

Can I backup configuration from Routerboard 600A (Router OS 3.10/ 3 UTP ports) and restore it on routerboard 1000 ( don’t know which router OS yet/ 4 UTP ports)?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

I suggest you to “export” instead, as this will produce a text file that you can edit to change interface names etc. “backup” file basically can be restored only on the same device

Thanks. I will try that. Is there any other way?

Can the global /export file be imported directly on a fresh system?

If I’ve created a new complete config export file that I want to upload and put into production on a remote system, how do I tell the remote system in one step to clear it’s config and load a new?

Or if I have scheduled daily exports of the config, and some day run into problems and wishes to roll back to previous known-working config, I must be able to easily load the export file from scratch, not as an append to the currently running config.

“backup” file basically can be restored only on the same device

What?! So how do I restore my backups to a replacement router when my primary router has broken down? Can’t you even restore a backup to a system with the same kind of RouterBoard?

I mean, if I have a RB1000 system I must be able to make config backups that can easily be restored into a replacement router, right?
