Routers and network access

Router backups for ISPs

Never rebuild a router from memory

If a router fails, restore its configuration instead of starting over. A dead or reset router can take a whole site offline while someone tries to remember how it was set up. Centipid keeps each managed MikroTik’s configuration off the device, on a schedule and on demand, and can restore a backup onto the router with its progress shown step by step.

Always a copy

Backups are taken automatically and stored away from the router.

Restore from Centipid

Upload, verify and apply a backup without connecting to the router yourself.

No accidental restores

A restore runs only after someone types RESTORE to confirm.

Only trusted staff

Managing backups is a permission of its own.

How it works

Router backups keep each managed MikroTik's configuration off the device, on a schedule and on demand. A backup can be downloaded or restored onto the router, which uploads, verifies and applies it before rebooting.

How ISPs use it

A replaced router

Load the old configuration onto new hardware and bring the site back.

A change gone wrong

Roll a router back to the configuration from before the change.

Staff turnover

Keep router setups when the engineer who built them leaves.

Back up every router. Try it for fourteen days.

Connect your MikroTik routers and their configurations are backed up on a schedule, off the device.
