Setup guide

not descend recursively through the command hierarchy. export also has the argument file, which
allows you to save the script in a file on the router to retrieve it later via ftp.
The root level command /import file_name restores the exported information from the specified
file. This is used to restore configuration or part of it after a /system reset event or anything that
causes configuration data loss.
Note that it is impossible to import the whole router configuration using this feature. It can only be
used to import a part of configuration (for example, firewall rules) in order to spare you some
typing.
For backing up configuration to a binary file and restoring it without alterations, please refer to the
configuration backup and restore section of the Wandy RouterOS Manual.
