Hello friend,

Better, you will save your backup file, with export file action. and before uploading you must edit little by text [notepad] mac address[es] of your interface. cause you will move to other interface.

this CLI command
/export file=backup
after this command, download this file. and will give you backup.rsc filename on your router list table file

regards :wink:

The backup command stores the MAC addresses of the Ethernet ports which are unique to the router. Restoring this onto new or other hardware will result in a mismatch of addresses and the restore won't work.

Better to export and then apply the settings.
