/system backup cloud - update?

RouterOS General

Hello,

Is it possible to update an existing cloud backup with a single command?

Let’s say I create a backup initially like this:

/system backup cloud upload-file action=create-and-upload password=...

If I repeat the above command - I get

Server error: All slots used. Delete file to free up space.

OK so there is one backup “slot” per client machine allocated on Mikrotik’s servers. Fine.

I can “/system backup cloud remove-file” and then re-upload, but is there a single command to do this?

Something which would 1) create a new backup file from current configuration but 2) update not create on Mikrotik’s servers?

I have the same issue with error:

Server error: All slots used. Delete file to free up space.

I don’t know why and I can’t backup on the cloud now, where I have just one backup from the beginning of the month. Maybe you must try to delete the cloud backup and create again.

I do not care if it is one command or more. IMHO the problem is that you have to delete a valid backup. And you do not have a cloud backup until you successfully upload a new one.

There should be a replace option, that uploads a new backup, then replaces the old one only if upload was successful. If anything goes wrong existing backup must be untouched.

Yeah that’s what I’m talking about. You’ll need to remove the existing file first because… there appears to be just one slot available - which is OK I guess since it’s a free service and it costs Mikrotik money, ongoing.

You can do

/system backup cloud print

to verify that there is indeed an existing file and then

/system backup cloud remove-file number=0

to delete it… and then you’ll be able to upload a new one.

Yeah that kind of “upload, validate, then replace” would be nice, but right now there is no “replace” of any kind at all, looks like…
