Note

Since RouterOS v6.43 your device will use cloud2.mikrotik.com to communicate with the MikroTik's Cloud server. Older versions will use cloud.mikrotik.com to communicate with the MikroTik's Cloud server.


Note

Warning: Be aware that if router has multiple public IP addresses and/or multiple internet gateways, the exact IP used for communicating with the MikroTik's Cloud server may not be as expected! 

...

Note

 If /ip cloud update-time is set to auto, then the device's clock will be updated with MikroTik's Cloud server time (if no NTP or SNTP client is enabled). 

Backup

Since RouterOS v6.44 it is possible to store your device's backup on MikroTik's Cloud server. The backup service allows you to upload an encrypted backup file, download it and apply the backup file to your device as long as your device is able to reach MikroTik's Cloud server. Below you can find operation details that are relevant to the IP/Cloud's backup service:

  • 1 free backup slot for each device
  • Allowed backup size: 15MB
  • Sends encrypted packets to cloud2.mikrotik.com using UDP/15252 and TCP/15252 port

To create a new backup and upload it the MikroTik's Cloud server:

Code Block
languageros
[admin@MikroTik] > /system backup cloud upload-file action=create-and-upload password=test123!!!
[admin@MikroTik] > /system backup cloud print 
 0 name="cloud-20180921-162649" size=13.2KiB ros-version="6.44beta9" date=sep/21/2018 16:26:49 status="ok" secret-download-key="AbCdEfGhIjKlM1234567890"


Note

The create-and-upload action command will create a new system's backup file, encrypt the backup file with AES using the provided password and upload it. For upload action command the password property has no effect since the upload action command uploads only already created system's backup files. 

To download the uploaded backup file and save it to device's memory: 

Code Block
languageros
[admin@MikroTik] > /system backup cloud download-file action=download number=0
### OR
[admin@MikroTik] > /system backup cloud download-file action=download secret-download-key=AbCdEfGhIjKlM1234567890


Note

Warning: The secret-download-key is a unique identifier that can be used to download your encrypted backup to your other devices. Since you can download your encrypted backup from any location and any device by using the secret-download-key, then you should try to keep this identifier a secret. The downloaded backup is still encrypted using AES, nevertheless make sure you are using a strong password! 

To remove the uploaded backup: 

Code Block
languageros
/system backup cloud remove-file number=0
