MikroTik RouterOS is a router operating system and software which turns a regular Intel PC or MikroTik RouterBOARDв„ў hardware into a dedicated router. Before doing that, it might be useful to backup the routerвЂ™s configuration. System reset command is used to erase all configuration on the router. The configuration import facility executes a batch of console commands from a script file. The configuration dumped is actually a batch of commands that add (without removing the existing configuration) the selected configuration to a router. The configuration export can be used for dumping out complete or partial MikroTik RouterOS configuration to the console screen or to a text (script) file, which can be downloaded from the router using FTP protocol. The restoration procedure assumes the cofiguration is restored on the same router, where the backup file was originally created, so it will create partially broken configuration if the hardware has been changed. The configuration restore can be used for restoring the routerвЂ™s configuration, exactly as it was at the backup creation moment, from a backup file.

The configuration backup can be used for backing up MikroTik RouterOS configuration to a binary file, which can be stored on the router or downloaded from it using FTP for future use.
