importing and exporting config files

Yeah, I realized that from the above. I mean I was a happy camper with my regular backups, all nice and tidy, indexed by date and name, safely stored on the server. So if a router goes up in flames I got exactly squat. Nice…

Trying to import firewall configuration and get an error:

Import file-name=firewall.rsc

failure: already have such entry


What does this mean? Firewall and nat empty.

Apart from the fact that you are misusing another topic:

  1. Export the current config
  2. Compare it to the one you are trying to import

This is what you say…
Without showing us the current “/ip firewall export” and without showing us the firewall.rsc that you expect, are we guessing?
(a list in the Address List cannot have two identical IPs)

And as already written by @erlinden open your topic when the problem is the misuse of something…

Thanks. Actually, I figured out. Evidently, I was not looking in the all tabs. ADDRESSES were still there. So, once I deleted them, the import took place normally. Thank ypu :slight_smile:
