Since upgrading my Mikrotiks to 7.10, it has created a new backup every time the schedule runs. This is due to it recording the date and time which is different.

Is there a way that i can have Unimus ignore this and not keep making new backups when that is the only difference?

MikroTik changed the format of the export header in RouterOS 7.10. You can add a Regex Backup Filter in "Backups > Configuration > Ignored data filters". You can use this regex: "(?m)^# (\d+-\d+-\d+ \d+:\d+:\d+) by RouterOS" (without the quotes). We will add a native backup filter in the 2.4.0 release to cover this.
