Hello friend,

Better, you will save your backup file, with export file action. and before uploading you must edit little by text [notepad] mac address[es] of your interface. cause you will move to other interface.

this CLI command

/export file=backup

after this command, download this file. and will give you backup.rsc filename on your router list table file

The backup command stores the MAC addresses of the Ethernet ports which are unique to the router. Restoring this onto new or other hardware will result in a mismatch of addresses and the restore won’t work.

Better to export and then apply the settings.
