Which command exports the current RouterOS configuration to a file named backup?

• A. /export backup
• B. /export
• C. /export file=backup.rsc
• D. /export file=backup

Answer: (D)

Exporting the current RouterOS configuration to a file is done by using the export command with the file parameter to name the output. If you don’t specify a file, the script goes to the console. By supplying a file name, you save the configuration to storage as a script you can reuse later. RouterOS appends the standard .rsc extension automatically, so using a base name like backup will produce backup.rsc. That’s why the form with the file parameter and a base name is the correct approach: it creates a concrete file you can access and import later. Including an extension in the file name can lead to unexpected results in some versions (like getting backup.rsc.rsc), so the conventional way is to specify just the base name.
