.rsc Export Problems [Solved]

Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:59 pm

I use the export command to backup my routerboard to an .rsc file . I can see the file in the File List just fine. Whenever I drag it to my desktop it creates a zip file. When I try to extract the zip file it tells me the file is empty. What am I doing wrong. I am running v7.6 on a RouterBoard RB750Gr-3. It used to be that when I dragged the .rsc file to my desktop it made a text file with the extension of .rsc and I could open it in Notepad. This seemed to start when I upgraded to v7.6.

I have always right click on file and select download rather than just drag it. Don't know if that will be any better.
Another option is to have the router E-Mail the file to you:
/tool e-mail send file=RB4011_Daily.rsc to="jim@mydomain.com" body="Router #1 daily script attached." \
   subject="RB4011  $[/system clock get date] at $[/system clock get time]  Script"
This is a portion of a daily backup script I have. This part sends the .rsc file to me.

Is the firs time I read about the zip, probably is one plugin installed on your OS that do the trick.

Never used GUI native client; webfig (HTTP) Files download is simple.

I'm not sure the download method matters. This should like the OS has associated .rsc (or whatever extension used in /export file=myfile.7z) with an archive app. It's somewhere in Windows' Control Panel someplace to set the file extensions to application associations. Or just opening notepad first, then using File > Open with the export file will work too.

What OS is on your "desktop"?

MacOS does some things "automatically" (I don't use it, but there were complaints about it with Ubiquiti EdgeOS backups automatically extracting .tar.gz files to .tar files).
