Dear all,
When opening in notepad the backup file resulting from the /system backup command (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Backup), I realize that it contains a track record of several iteration of my scripts.
The /system backup command outputs a .backup file that lists the same script in several stages of edition.
For a lack of better term, it looks as if the backup file contains a recollection of all "past steps" that brought up to the current version when the backup command was run.
Is this normal behavior?
It's as if the backup file is ready to handle several "undo" request, just after being used to restore a device.
As a consequence, it makes the backup file quite heavier than what it could be.
Is there a way to trim the backup file to only show the current config, without the "past steps"?
I'm aware of the export function, I also use it.
And this export function produces a clean output: ie the rsc file that is outputted doesn't show this recollection of all past steps.
Thanks
