Complete export / import of RB 750GL

Hi MikroTik professionals,
I bought a new RB 750GL for backup and worst case replacement of my existing RB 750GL.
But unfortunately I habe no idea how to export from the old device and import to the new
device. The export and import should be a "binary" exp/imp, including the mac adresses and so on...

It would be great to get a short tutorial how to do this.
Many thanks and best regards, Mike.

for backup use the below commands in terminal:
/export compact file=[filename]

for restore use the below commands:
/import file-name=[filename]

Or you might try
/system backup save
/system backup load

Any way you do it, you have to keep in mind that the other device does have different MAC addresses.
Some items can be changed though.

I was afraid that the MAC addresses are different.
So I want to know if I can make a 1 to 1 copy of the device, and how it works.

Thanks for your help and best regards, Mike.

After /export comapct file=exp at the old RB350GL
and /import file-name=exp.rsc at the new RB350GL
I wasn't able to connect to the new RB350 any more.
Maybe this is the result of different ROS-versions?
The old one has version 5.16 and the new one has 5.24.
Does anyone know whether this is a problem?

Many thanks and best regards, Mike.
