SWOS backup file compatibility

Thu Dec 02, 2021 3:44 pm

Hello,

I ran into issues several times when used miscelaneous switches in the past, because when switch died after 4-5 years, there were no direct replacement on the market and binary backup of switch configuration was totally useless.

How is this situation with swos? When I buy mikrotik switch and use swos, is there some guarantee that new mikrotik switch models running swos will read that configuration file?
I know that I can use CRS with ROS and have a text-file export, where is bigger chance to restore backup on different switch model (with some manual config file tuning), but ROS is too heavy for usecase I have and I am not the only administrator who will configure that switch (and another admins don't have ROS knowledge, they only want to set vlans to ports and their job is done).

Thank you
