MikroTik Safe Change Rollback Script

In this video I walk through a MikroTik RouterOS script that gives you an automatic safety net whenever you make changes to a live router. Before you touch anything, the script takes a full timestamped backup and export of your current config, creates a temporary admin user, and schedules two automatic restore jobs at 30 minutes and 60 minutes. If your changes break connectivity and you lose access to the router, it restores itself back to the working state without any intervention from you. We cover how the script builds a unique timestamp so every run produces independent backup files, how the temporary admin user works and why we use one instead of embedding your real credentials, how the named revert script is constructed and stored, and how the flip-flop scheduler pattern ensures the restore fires exactly once if needed. We also cover the cleanup script - a permanent generic script you run once your changes are confirmed working, which removes all artefacts from every session in a single command with no manual tidying required.
