Save configuration to fallback partition
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 ↗️. 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.
Requirements and installation
Just install the script:
$ScriptInstallUpdate backup-partition;
Configuration
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.
Usage and invocation
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;
