ℹ️ Info: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.
This script saves the current configuration to fallback partition. It can also copy-over the RouterOS installation when run interactively or just before a feature update.
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: By default only the configuration is saved to backup partition. Every now and then you should copy your installation over for a recent RouterOS version! See below for options.
Just install the script:
$ScriptInstallUpdate backup-partition;
The configuration goes to global-config-overlay, the only parameter is:
BackupPartitionCopyBeforeFeatureUpdate: copy-over the RouterOS installation when a feature update is pending
ℹ️ Info: Copy relevant configuration from
global-config(the one without-overlay) to your localglobal-config-overlayand modify it to your specific needs.
Just run the script:
/system/script/run backup-partition;
When run interactively from terminal it supports to copy-over the RouterOS installation when versions differ.
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;
