RAX45 Configuration Restore Fails
My RAX45 recently corrupted after a firmware upgrade attempt. After finally resolving that I attempted several times to restore configuration using several cfg files that I religiously create everytime I change any configuration. All failed and I had to manually reconfigure everything. Has anyone actually succeeded restoring configuration using the Restore function under Backup?
Yes, for a R7000, R7800, and R9000. Each time I made sure the backup configuration file was created under the same firmware version I was trying to restore to.
Backup configuration files are not necessarily interchangeable between firmware versions.

I've restored before but I don't have that specific router to comment on how well it works.
