Automated backups for MikroTik devices can be accomplished by running a scheduled script. The following script can be run in the scheduler in order to automate the backups to an SFTP share. It was tested on a MiroTik hEX RB750Gr3 with RouterOS 7.20.1. Just make sure to adjust the first five variables to your needs. This script is based on another script I found on the forum – here. I adjusted the date settings in the filename since these weren’t working for me.

I recently purchased two Sophos SG 125 V2s with OPNsense. These have several physical (Layer 3) interfaces, which I would like to combine into a bridge. This allows multiple interfaces to be treated like a switch (Layer 2) and assigned to the same network without having to configure each interface individually.

Sophos has a DMZ, a LAN, an HA, a WAN, and several normal Ethernet ports. I would like to set up the Ethernet ports together as a bridge.
