We have made a simple supout.rif file viewer. To use it, log into your mikrotik.com account, and click on “supout.rif viewer”:
This online utility is only accessible online from within your account, and will show the contents of the supout.rif file. Things available are configuration export, logs, resource info, registration tables, connections, license info and others.
This utility will provide great help for those who help others, consultants, distributors, ISPs.
Be careful! Don’t give your supout.rif files to people who can’t see your configuration and inner workings of your network. Although passwords are hidden, some sensitive information can still be seen!
The Supout.rif viewer can open up to five files at the same time, so you can switch between tabs and compare them. The files will be kept in their opened tabs even if you switch your computers, so you can keep a file there as long as you want. When you want to free the tab, just close it, and the file will be gone forever.
If you find any issues with the viewer, please post here, or email support.

What about a backup file viewer?
I have a lot of backup files from my rbs, but if I just want to see one configuration
I have to restore that backup on a rb to see it.
That would be nice.
Thanks for this viewer!
Ok then, I will change my backups scripts to add the export file and send me both by mail.
I think the backup is better for restoring than export, but export will serve as well.
Thanks for advice.

Normis…
A question to ask, when i create the back up file from the routerA, and i upload it into the routerB. when i apply (restore) the routerA backup file to routerB, for the wireless card part, i need to manually to configure again.
Backups are only for restoring the exact device they were taken from, they are not to be transferred to other hardware. If you need to transfer to other hardware, use “/export”, which you will still have to manually edit (MAC addresses, for example).
The restoration procedure assumes the cofiguration is restored on the same router, where the backup file was originally created, so it will create partially broken configuration if the hardware has been changed.
In my opinion that’s the biggest problem with RouterOS functionality, barring bugs. The configuration management is absolutely horrible.
@angboontiong I think its the MAC address, if you grab the Wi Fi card from A and put in B before restore, it should restore its config as well (same MAC) or if you change the mac with the RouterOS command beforehand (just dont bring two same MACs into same network)
@Normis can’t you develop and exploit a vulnerability to decrypt .backups for viewing @ the mikrotik.com account? It will be done @ your server so it will be unknown to everyone. Such vuln exists for a certain purpose (angel) at elast in the past versions… Sorry for going a bit guerilla here but I need to be able to see and compare the backups.
