I know there is the admin backup/restore and I am aware that they have limitations between versions as settings change / update
I am pretty sure i have seen another method of backing up my router and then restoring it to a later release. Am I right, anyone got a link ?
I did try a search for backup and that just gives me so many returns which are about new builds and nothing really jumped out.

TIA

Because of search terms and current build thread format, it took a while to sift through shit, but. I think the search function of this forum or proper web searches are just failing, people don't know how or what to search for, or they are not being used.

How to extract CFE.BIN and NVRAM.BIN from a working router? (you need output of 'cat /proc/mtd' to have proper partitions, and this thread is OLD and applies to Broadcom)

Backup settings and restore them to even different hardware.Another OLD thread that may be of use to someone, or not.

settings backup conversion tool? (another OLD thread, from when there were some really talented folks on here, not the wannabes)

NVRAM Editor 0.92 Beta released (Original thread)

NVRAM Editor 0.92 Beta released (Newer thread)

nvram show equivalent to GUI backup settings Cool Wink

Reset only wireless to defaults?

[SOLVED] [Newbie] R8300 firmware and Backup/Restore Settings (Broadcom, link in last post)

Is there an easy way to get a human readable configuration?

[Solved] Using "Admin > Backup" and pitfalls

simple to see settings in saved Config-NVrambak file? Rolling Eyes

I quit after 26 pages forward and probably 6 pages from end of search results backward. There are also these tools that have been around a while:

https://github.com/tknarr/ddwrt-nvram-tools (no idea of working state, or if any of the forks are maintained with bugfixes, etc.

https://github.com/0ki/ddwrt-nvram-tool (same caveat emptor warning as above)
