MikroTik

Hello,

First time posting here. I just upgraded to 6.40rc38 and was trying to export to a file. For some reason it will not generate the file. /export file=backup2017 I then tried just /export and copied / pasted into a text doc, saved it as mikrotik07122017.txt, uploaded it to mikrotik, and tried to run a reset system config with no defaults and no backup. It errors and says invalid file name (6). I then tried removing the extension and it still errors. Lastly, I tried with a know good export file and it error'd again.

I have a Routerboard 2011UiAS-RM

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Eric

The extension of an export should be .rsc and the one generated by the backup is called .backup.

Right, I understand that, but for some reason I cannot generate any export files after upgrading to 6.40.rc38. Under /files print, no new files are created. I have tried:

/export file=test.rsc
/export verbose file=test.rsc
/export compact file=test.rsc

The biggest issue, is that I cannot run the /system reset-configuration from the menu, to reload my exported config (run-after). I get invalid file, I even tried .rsc extension.

Yes, everything that saves to file from console is broken, export to file print to file etc. We will try to fix this in future rc versions.

Try?
Try??
I think you mean "We will fix this in the next rc version.".

You do wonder how stuff like this gets broken in the first place, given that none of the relevant code has (apparently) been touched.
Is the whole thing structured so badly that you fix one thing and break another? I really find it very hard to believe.

Looks like this has been resolved with 6.40rc41. I am now able to export to a file and use that file with run after (reset system-configuration).
