I agree -- even like hardware is a pain, since the wireless settings are never
imported on restore unless it's the exact same radio MAC. But I take both just
in case some version of ROS starts generating faulty export files, it's just a
belt-and-suspenders thing, and it doesn't cost me any more.
Frankly, export files are not always 100% transportable between product models,
either. When I first started using SXTs, our "standard configuration file"
would lock them up so hard that they required a netinstall. Finally determined
that the /system led commands that we used on the RB711 units did something to
hang SXTs.
Also, sorry for fumbling the offlist response earlier.
