Upload backup to server
ℹ️ Info: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.
Description
This script uploads binary backup (/ system backup save) and complete
configuration export (/ export terse) to external server.
⚠️ Warning: The used command can hit errors that a script can not handle. This may result in script termination (where no notification is sent) or malfunction of fetch command (where all up- and downloads break) for some time. Failed notifications are queued then.
Sample notification

$ScriptInstallUpdate backup-upload;

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;
