Is there any way to load nvrambak.bin (created via web interface "backup" option) and apply it on router by some command when connected via telnet/SSH?

Yes it is possible ....

1. Transfer the backup file on the board (via ftp/scp).
2. Next use the following command on the board console (through telnet/ssh) to restore the configuration...
* nvram restore path_of_backup_file

But I would rather suggest you to use WebUI to restore the router settings.

Thanks a lot for that. But is there any command exist to backup settings before performing the steps from your recommended procedure also using telnet/ssh?
(I found a script, but is there any built-in command for that, such as nvram one?)

yes, you can take backup of current settings using the following command ..

* nvram backup name_of_backup_file

The backup file will be created on the board. You have to transfer it to your machine.
