configuration export (`/ export terse show-sensitive`) to external server.

Also notification settings are required for e-mail,

[telegram](mod/notification-telegram.md).
### Issues with SFTP client
The RouterOS SFTP client is picky if it comes to authentication methods.
I had to disable all but password authentication on server side. For openssh
edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` and add a directive like this, changed for your
needs:
Match User mikrotik
AuthenticationMethods password
Usage and invocation
--------------------
Just run the script:
/ system script run backup-upload;
Creating a scheduler may be an option:
/ system scheduler add interval=1w name=backup-upload on-event="/ system script run backup-upload;" start-time=09:25:00;
