Backups disappear from router

Tue Nov 27, 2018 5:44 pm

Hi there,

I got a new RB750-Gr3-hEX and it seems the config backup I´ve been taking in the configuration process are vanishing.

I´ve taken them as I always did in the previous RB750: Files > Backup > set name > perform backup.

Maybe I am missing something obvious that was no needed in the older device?

Thanks in advance.

Current 750Gr3 has a temporary file system. If you want to keep your files, store them in /flash:

Thank you @nescafe2002 for the prompt response.

I suspected it would be something trivial I was not aware of.

I made a new backup and also drag-&-dropped the one I made a few minutes earlier, we´ll see if it sticks, but I am confident it will.

Thanks again.

Warning: If device has a directory named "flash" in its file list, then files which you want to be kept after system reboot/power cycle must be stored within it. As anything outside of it is kept within a RAM disk and will be lost upon reboot. Note: this does not include .npk upgrade files as they will be applied by upgrade process before system discards the RAM drive content.
