Backing up, restoring and comparing Tomato Configs - A few resources

As someone who wrote a lot of the FreshTomato docs, and who frequents the Tomato foum, I've seen a ton of questions about this subject. These resources may help. NOTE: some are out of date, and others not so much. This is not meant to be exhaustive.

Tomato Forum: Best Way to Update FreshTomato Firmware:

https://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/best-way-to-update-fresh-tomato-firmware.78868/

.

Tomato Forum: Current Status of Config. Backups, Plain text Backups, etc.

(outdated but some useful info)

https://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/current-status-of-config-backups-plain-text-backups-etc.78698/#post-351656

.

There's also this:

HommeOursPorc: TomatoPages Backup (AI-coded), page-by-page basis

(Now partly integrated directly into the FreshTomato firmware)

.

FreshTomato Configuration Compare and Edit

https://github.com/niieani/freshtomato-config-compare-and-edit

Interactive browser-based tool for inspecting, comparing, and editing FreshTomato router .cfg backups (NVRAM). Runs fully offline and entirely in your browser, so your config files never leave your computer. Includes a catalog of majority of Tomato's NVRAM settings with descriptions and parsers, and gives you superpowers when it’s time to understand and make changes to your Tomato routers.

.

.

I am considering writing a section in the FAQ or HOWTO on the FreshTomato wiki about this subject that covers these and other tools/methods available in a little more detail.

Would you be interested in that?
