Let me explain it differently. Using the Winbox created a system script with these commands:
:log info "Starting Backup Script..." :global backupfiletext ([/system identity get name]) /file rem $backupfiletext :delay 2s /export file=$backupfiletext :log info "Waiting 5s for backup to complete..." :delay 5s :log info "Backup being emailed..." /tool e-mail send to="yath...@imaginenetworksllc.com" subject=([/system identity get name] . " Backup") from=mtback...@imaginenetworksllc.comfile=$backupfiletext body=[/system identity get name] server=4.2.2.2 :log info "Finished Backup Script!" Now type /sys script export Now copy/paste the output from/to the same prompt Watch it error out (probably invalid argument name) There doesn't look to be anything unique, but even if there were it should not cause an issue importing it to the same MikroTik from which it was exported!
