Hello all,
for years I am looking for a method to backup a running configuration. Of course one might think to simply use (winbox) File -> Backup. But the problem is, you cannot restore this backup on _another_ hardware of same type. Basically all devices with MAC adresses fail to configure correctly, which means you may even lock yourself out of the box if restoring.
Another problem: the backup is not human readable, which means you cannot search it for any keywords.
So one might think, well use "/export somescript.rsc" then. But trying that once reveals that you cannot "restore" (i.e. import) this script either because it fails on every script-line already configured in the default-config of a newly unboxed router.
Now, this leaves you with - nothing! So my question: has anyone ever found a solution how to backup a router config and restore it on another one of equal type without having to rework the backup-file/script by hand? I mean, I missed something, or not? Because I find this pretty unbelievable ...
Regards
