Hi,
I trying to upload a just created backup to the same device for testing the backup-restore process.
The procedure is to create a configuration for one device batch/model e.g. the RUT950002XXX.
Procedure:
- factory reset, firmware flash, no keeping any settings
- configured all as needed (IP settings, firewall, mobile APN)
- create a default confguration "System-Backup-Create Default Configuration"
- backup the configuration to the connected laptop (wired connection) "System-Backup-Backup Configuration"
- For testing log out or reboot (no differnece) - login again to the same device with the same laptop..
- perform "System-Backup-Restore Configuartion" and select the just saved file xxx.tar.gz
- it "uploads" then "verifying" then get the message "The selcted backup file is not compatible with this device,..."
Firmware: RUT9_R00.07.02.04 on both devices (new purchased some weeks ago).
Same behaviour on device A: RUT950U02XXX and on device B: RUT950002XXX.
What I have tried out meanwhile:
- When I make a foctory reset to the device (trying to clear all except the firmware) then partially I can upload the backup, but it fails sometimes also here (did not found a certain pattern).
- I observed the backuped archives form a factory resetted device with a full configured one, the differneces are only in the cfg files located in etc/config (found here a hint to conect via SSH WinSCP).
So main question is why a just generated backup file will fail the verification when reloaded back to the physically same device
