Hi guys, i am on a run to make 24h backup to my another router, and when something when wrong, just put cables there.
Can you help me about it.
I am using a ccr1016 main and backup.
Backup is with nothing set, all wipe configuration

What's the point of it? Why not use VRRP?

It's simple and very easy to config and with this.. if the main router fail, the bkp router will take all the job
Take a look here: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/VRRP

So if I read well, al what I need to do is add vrrp in the LAN Interfaces and put SAME address for vrrp1 but priority of the master will be 150 and for the backup 130, and turn off preemption mode in backup mikrotik of VRRP?

Note that VRRP is only a solution for "when something when wrong, just put cables there." and not
for "to make 24h backup to my another router".
When you use VRRP, you are responsible yourself for keeping the configuration the same on both
routers, there is no RouterOS support to do that.
So your backup solution may be better...

Should i have my all configuration first to backup router?
If it is true why I need vrrp, just put cables and it is working.

On my main router i have all conf, and my backup is now empty. What is the next step? Should I or not configure a backup router or vrrp will "copy" configuration to this backup router?
