On the RUTX50 (with 00.07.07.3 firmware), we got some issues about backup & restore configuration with UCI commands. Our purpose is to modify a backup configuration to prepare configurations for multiple devices.
With a configuration file named “config.txt”, the command “uci export > config.txt” is working.
To test the procedure, we changed one parameter in the file.
Then we’d like to import the new configuration on the device:
the command “uci import -f config.txt” isn’t working.
we tried the command “uci import < config.txt” and it seems ok (no error messages) but there’s no visible changes on the configuration itself (after a verification with “uci get” command).
You can achieve this in the CLI without using UCI commands:
To create a backup file on your RUTX50:
Log in to it via SSH and execute the following command: sysupgrade -b /tmp/backup-file-name.tar.gz
After creating the backup file, transfer it to your PC. Open a terminal on your PC and execute: scp root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/backup-file-name.tar.gz directory_on_PC (instead of 192.168.1.1 use your RUT IP.)
To restore the backup configuration:
Open a terminal on your PC and execute: scp backup-file-name.tar.gz root@192.168.1.1:/tmp (instead of 192.168.1.1 use your RUT IP.)
Then SSH into your RUT and execute these commands:
ls /tmp/backup-file-name.tar.gz
sysupgrade -r /tmp/backup-file-name.tar.gz
reboot
Please let me know if you have any further questions or require additional assistance. Additionally, if you specifically need a solution using UCI commands, kindly let me know the reason. Thank you!
