Description
-----------

This script uploads
[binary backup to Mikrotik cloud](https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Cloud#Backup).

> workaround only. A notification *should* be sent anyway. But it can result
> in malfunction of fetch command (where all up- and downloads break) for
> some time. Failed notifications are queued then.
