exported config cant be fully imported anymore

RouterOS Scripting

hi,

i am running a backup every night using the export command since ROS has no “good” way of doing backup and restore. usually i was able to paste the config into a terminal and it worked. now i am getting errors.

here an example:

[admin@gw-eirewire] > / queue simple
[admin@gw-eirewire] /queue simple> add name=“512-package”
... target-addresses=10.27.54.100/32,10.27.54.101/32,10.27.54.102/32,10.27.1
... 90.103/32,10.27.54.104/32,10.27.54.105/32,10.27.54.106/32,10.27.54.107/
bad argument name 90.103/32 (line 3 column 5)
[admin@gw-eirewire] /queue simple> 32,10.27.54.108/32,10.27.54.109/32,10.27.54.110/32,10.27.54.111/32,10.2

[admin@gw-eirewire] /queue simple> 7.54.112/32,10.27.54.113/32,10.27.54.114/32,10.27.54.115/32,10.27.54.1
syntax error (line 1 column 13)
[admin@gw-eirewire] /queue simple> 16/32,10.27.54.117/32,10.27.54.118/32,10.27.54.119/32
syntax error (line 1 column 7)
[admin@gw-eirewire] /queue simple> dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=wlan1 parent=none direction=both
syntax error (line 1 column 16)
[admin@gw-eirewire] /queue simple> priority=8 queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=0/0
syntax error (line 1 column 13)
[admin@gw-eirewire] /queue simple> max-limit=128000/512000 total-queue=default-small disabled=no
syntax error (line 1 column 14)

what i actually paste is this:

/ queue simple
add name=“512-package”
target-addresses=10.27.54.100/32,10.27.54.101/32,10.27.54.102/32,10.27.1
90.103/32,10.27.54.104/32,10.27.54.105/32,10.27.54.106/32,10.27.54.107/
32,10.27.54.108/32,10.27.54.109/32,10.27.54.110/32,10.27.54.111/32,10.2
7.54.112/32,10.27.54.113/32,10.27.54.114/32,10.27.54.115/32,10.27.54.1
16/32,10.27.54.117/32,10.27.54.118/32,10.27.54.119/32
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=wlan1 parent=none direction=both
priority=8 queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=0/0
max-limit=128000/512000 total-queue=default-small disabled=no

just as it comes from the export command.

i noticed this in 3.2 and 3.3, 3.1 and 3.0 i don’t know, 2.9 was fine all along with that way of restoring a config.

What it looks like here is that it has not recognised some of what you pasted

10.27.1\
\... 90.103/32,

because it accidentally broke it into 2 numbers.

When that line was entered it gave you an error and stopped writing this specific entry, therfore causing the subsequent (now-incomplete) lines to give you an error.

As to why it broke up the line improperly/failed to recognise the continuation is an issue for the MT reps to have a look at.

well, it worked always with 2.9.x, and i got a reply that there is an issue with that from MT support. i guess i wait and see and hope non of the ros 3.2 or 3.3 boxes need a config restored.
