When trying to perform backup on a Mikrotik device that is receiving the full BGP route table, the backup fails with the following message "ssh_backup_download_failed".

This is more than likely due to the Mikrotik /export function taking around 3 - 5 minutes to complete when a mikrotik has 650 000+ routes.
Is it possible to increase the timeout of the backup to accomodate for this?

Hi,

Yes, we have an article on the Wiki that explains how:
https://wiki.unimus.net/display/UNPUB/C ... t+timeouts

For your particular issues, increase the max-backup-timeout, no need to adjust others.
