config format

Anyone know why asus doesn't store the configs in a text format that can be easily backup' d and restored? it's always been the biggest impediment to upgrading for me.

You can easily make backups of your config and your jffs directory by accessing https://router.asus.com:8443/Advanced_SettingBackup_Content.asp of http://router.asus.com/Advanced_SettingBackup_Content.asp

Then there's also the nsru utility which let's you make (selectively) backups of nvram. It can be installed through amtm.

I'd guess it's because that's the way it was in Tomato when Asus forked the firmware and there was no reason change it.
