RouterOS installed in vmware to Routerboard hardware.

Fri Apr 15, 2016 10:30 am

Just want to ask if a routeros mikrotik configuration that has been backup, can be restored to the routerboard hardware like RB2011UiAs-RM?

I'm just a newbie for mikrotik. as of now while waiting for the unit I study it on vmware installed version 6.34.4 and I already ordered the hardware RB2011UiAs-RM.

Make an export to file instead of a backup in the VM. Backups are intended to be restored on exactly the same unit/kind of hardware.

Take care when restoring the export if you have renamed the interfaces, as name is whats used to associate interfaces with values (ip, fw rules, etc).
