Or, if you want to be able to read it by eye, /export.

The system backup is chipset dependant, unlike export which saves a readable copy that you can modify to work on basically any chipset.
Like I’ve tried to make a backup of my friend’s RB750G configurations and put it on my RB750, but it didn’t work due to the chipset mismatch. Using export did the trick.
