That should make the documentation clearer if external sites link to the
documentation of a specific script.

Upload backup to server
=======================
[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)
🛈 This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation.
See [main README](../README.md) for details.
Description
-----------
This script uploads binary backup (`/ system backup save`) and complete
configuration export (`/ export terse`) to external server.
Requirements and installation
-----------------------------
Just install the script:
$ScriptInstallUpdate upload-backup;
Configuration
-------------
The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, these are the parameters:
* `BackupSendBinary`: whether to send binary backup
* `BackupSendExport`: whether to send configuration export
* `BackupPassword`: password to encrypt the backup with
* `BackupRandomDelay`: delay up to amount of seconds when run from scheduler
* `BackupUploadUrl`: url to upload to
* `BackupUploadUser`: username for server authentication
* `BackupUploadPass`: password for server authentication
Also notification settings are required for e-mail and telegram.
### 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 upload-backup;
Creating a scheduler may be an option:
/ system scheduler add interval=1w name=upload-backup on-event="/ system script run upload-backup;" start-time=09:25:00;
