MikroTik

Hi all! I have a problem with a mikrotik 450g, using routeros4.6.

A lightning has just strike ALL the ethernet ports, they are unuseable, they show link even if there is no cable plugged. The sad fact is, that I did not have a backup of the configuration, wich is quite compilcated.

I can connect to the board using serial console, I can back up the configuration, but I could not find out, how o transfer the backup file via the console. (I'm using Linux, the minicom application, wich offers zmodem, xmodem, ymodem, kermit transfers)

I found out that in routerboot there is a zmodem possibility but it can be used only to upload a new firmware to the device.

So is it possible to transfer a backup file, using serial cable from the device, since it is my only connection with it. If yes, how?

Thank you for your answers.

/export is working, but reverting back the config is pain in the ass (even on default config, it stops several times, for example at /users, /store, etc...). And it does not restores logs... But anyway I have the config now, so users are happy, but I'm still in doubt. My question is still alive. I'm interested in any solution about binary file transfer to and back mikrotik via serial port.

I know this is an old thread, but I am in a similar situation.

Is there a way to do X/Y/ZModem transfers to/from the filesystem of a running ROS system?

I have a 450G with all eth ports dead and would like to try putting a new ROS version on it just to see if it somehow unlocks everything. (Very doubtful, but I have a dead unit, otherwise, so I may as well try it)
