Hello,
I have a Mikrotik router, and want to have an exact same config backup, if i do backup and restore this does not work well with other router specific info, what is the way to keep a backup for a live router like this ?
Thanks.
Hello,
what you could try is typing this in terminal:
/export file=backup
It will create file named backup.rsc. It is not encrypted in any way, so if you have passwords saved in your router, anybody can read it from that file.
It also do not backup users (but it backups user groups).
You can than easily import that config to any other router (if it has the same ammount of interfaces) by uploading backup file and typing:
/system reset-configuration keep-users=yes no-defaults=yes skip-backup=yes run-after-reset=backup.rsc
Did this work to restore a backup of your config to a different router?
