Save configuration to fallback partition

⬅️ Go back to main README

ℹ️ Info: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.

Description

This script saves the current configuration to fallback partition.

For this to work you need a device with sufficient flash storage that is properly partitioned.

To make you aware of a possible issue a scheduler logging a warning is added in the backup partition's configuration. You may want to use log-forward to be notified.

⚠️ Warning: Only the configuration is saved to backup partition. Every now and then you should copy your installation over for a recent RouterOS version!

Requirements and installation

Just install the script:

$ScriptInstallUpdate backup-partition;

Usage and invocation

Just run the script:

/system/script/run backup-partition;

Creating a scheduler may be an option:

/system/scheduler/add interval=1w name=backup-partition on-event="/system/script/run backup-partition;" start-time=09:30:00;
