".rsc") \ server=1.3.3.7 :log info "finished backup" As Butch highlighted above, you will need to modify the to= and server= (the from= is a preference thing, but it is advised you make work with your SMTP server). PS: Don't forget to schedule it =) I had to make a few changes for it to work on my 2.9.40 router, so here is my source:

:log info “starting backup”
/export file=[/system identity get name]
:delay 5
/tool e-mail send to=user@domain.com subject=”inx core backup” \
from=router@domain.com file=([/system identity get name] . “.rsc”) \
server=1.3.3.7
:log info “finished backup”

As Butch highlighted above, you will need to modify the to= and server= (the from= is a preference thing, but it is advised you make work with your SMTP server).

PS: Don’t forget to schedule it =)
