recover npk packages from installed RB?

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

I have a RB with older ROS versions (2.9.5, 2.9.7 and not yet too old 2.9.30) and i want all of them have the same actual version.
How can I “recover” packages from routerboard once they are installed?
I want to have a full installed & configured backup just in case something goes wrong and I want to go back.


thanks in advance!

You need old packages (2.9.5 or 2.9.7), to downgrade router from the newer version. We strongly recommend to use the latest RouterOS version, if something will go wrong it is better to report the problem in order to fix it as soon as it possible

so there’s no way of once RouterOS is installed to revoer them without downloading again (if avaliable). isn’t it?

I have some OEM locked RB (rOS 2.9.5, 2.9.7, 2.9.30 updatables upto 2.9.30 from its manufacturer)and I want to standarize them (just netinstall new mikrotik npks) but still have the chance to restore the boards to its original state in case a RMA is needed.
that’s why I need a way to have the personalized npk back to reinstall or have a way to backup EVERYTHING (packages installed too) and be able to recover it later and get boards to its manufacturer rOS 2.9.5/2.9.7/2.9.30 version.

(I know these could void original warranty)

Use the latest RouterOS version, you do not need to recover to 2.9.5/7,etc. in case of RMA.

ok. after some testings I’ve found what I exactly needs but I don’t know how to solve it. I open a new thread about that, will be better.
