Help Request.. Must have RB5009

My RB5009 bricked after a firmware update. I have a backup from just prior to the update.
Since my backup device is a RB4011, the backup is useless.
Does anyone have a spare RB5009, that would be willing to load my backup, then create an Export script for me?

Do you remember the version the router had when you backed up?

You must provide the file, but also the password …

Does the backup contain sensitive data?

My backup was while on firmware 7.2.3, just prior to updating to 7.4, so someone should be able to restore it to 7.2.3 or 7.3 if that’s a concern.

Not password protected. Just my home/lab router so nothing senstive.

If you want I can try, but I don’t guarantee anything…
I’m not on MikroTik staff, I’m only a user like you!

Ok, this is the file
the password is the same of your zip

Thank you @rextended!

I don’t see anything related to zerotier; is that not part of the backup, or did you not have that package installed? If the latter, would you be able to install the zerotier package and run the export again?

uh… I do not know that, one moment…

I can’t install Zerotier on this emulator, but you can open the .backup with notepad to retrieve these parameters:

zerotier1
0ccc5c
zt1
af5
84b:0:d9c62
a360ef72f30********badc321e62ec

(I censored with *, but they are correctly readable within the .backup file)


Ah… now I understand what is the *B missing interface, *B = zt1
so, from this:

/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=forward disabled=yes in-interface=*B
add action=accept chain=input disabled=yes in-interface=*B

to this:

/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=forward disabled=yes in-interface=zt1
add action=accept chain=input disabled=yes in-interface=zt1

I can’t install Zerotier on this emulator

What emulation software are you using ?

Curious? :wink:

Windows 10 + XVI32 for read MAC inside unencrypted backup, VMware Workstation Pro 16.2.4 + MikroTik CHR + “n” NIC for each interface needed to be simulated, with the real MAC of previous hardware.

:unamused:

ok thanks.
