How to synchronize configuration between two devices

Hello,

I have two Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ devices. I configured one of them. I'm using several vlans, vpn connections, I have about 20 firewall rules. Now I need add second Mikrotik to this configuration and set up VRRP. I know that Mikrotik doesn't sync configuration between devices. But maybe you can give me some advice what is the best strategy to keep config synced? I think even if I try to make the same changes on both devices - at some day there will be something what I will forget and devices won't have the same config. Maybe there is some solution for that problem?

Are you managing the CCR's through SSH?
In that case you can use the tool "dsh" to send one command to a group of devices you can define for yourself.
It is not meant as a way to synchronize your current configuration, but it might help you with future management through SSH.
Google for "dsh + mikrotik" if you're interested in using it, there are some walkthroughs available.

I already suggested the idea of the two routers with automatic synchronization:
