Question

After a crash (?) and an installation of the firmware with the bootloader menu, what is the best procedure to recover the previous state of the RUT955:

- upload the last rp file ?

and/or

- upload the last backup ?

and

- ?

Answer 1

Hi,

Uploading your backup seems to be best bet. However keep in mind that whatever was done in router might have led to crash at the first place.

Ok. I thought instead to a restore point file but you should be right.

Can I be sure to retrieve my own files (scripts, ...) ?

Can I also be sure that this procedure can be executed on a remote RUT955 ? this is my problem: the RUT955 is far (250km), impossible to press the reset button !

Assuming you can reach to your router via public IP or RMS, the answer to both of your questions is yes. Let me know if you encounter any issues. You can upload router's configuration backup file from the System → Administration → Backup page and check THIS page if you want to do it via RMS

I read several times the page you mentionned but it is confusing to me.

There is the user's default config and the backup config and, of course, the rp files.

So, at least 3 sources of information, 3 sources of confusion.

That was the sense of my first question !
