Manual:Store
Applies to RouterOS: v3, v4+
Store manages storage devices used by RouterOS various facilities.
Currently Store can be used for:
•• Webproxy
•• User Manager
•• the Dude
This is especially useful for
RouterBOARD devices with SD/CF
slots - as the built-in storage is quite
small, an external drive comes in very
handy when you want a big User
Manager database.
You can add as many external or
secondary drives as you want, and
select any number of them for each of
the mentioned feature use. For
example User Manager could be used
on 3 disks, one of them would be the
active database, and the rest would be
backups. You can then add a fourth
disk, copy the active data to it - unplug
it - and move to another server, to keep
using the actual database.
This means migration and backup made easy!
Note: For proper operation router needs to be rebooted after adding or removing external storage.
