If possible (not 100% sure how you pull the backup). I'd really like to be able to download the backup config in its original format (ie *.tar.gz for edgerouter). To make it faster and easier to upload the config to a new device.
Backup is done over SSH, issuing "show configuration commands", and scraping the output.
I would guess the .tar.gz is when downloading config over web interface.
Currently, there is no way to get this file.
I will keep this feature in the backlog, will investigate how to best implement it after release

Maybe if instead of ssh and show you did an scp transfer you could accomplish the same thing but also have the original file and format for the various devices.
Yes, one of the first new features after release will be the ability to also backup files from the devices (using SFTP/SCP).
Multiple people have requested it for various reasons, so when that is implemented, you should be able to use it to get a binary (.tar.gz) backup file in addition to the normal text backup.
