the best way to do that is , in the terminal windows type: export file=backup

it will criate a rsc file with all your current configuration written.

install the new mikrotik upload the file via winbox or ftp and type import file=backup and then press tab and enter.

it will load all your old configuration but , you will have to check some of the rules but it should work.

But you need to install with CD or netinstall. Another thing if your ROS is cracked you will have 24 hs to purchase one license.

RouterOS 3.11 has bug - because restore button is missing in winbox.
I downgraded to ROS 3.10...

Is possible to backup only IP / ARP list ? and transfer it to the another routerboard ?

I think this should be possible via console but can anyone tell me how to do this ?
