Unable to restore configuration on Nano image of 17.7
« on: August 31, 2017, 01:26:10 pm »
I copied the Nano installation on a Flash drive and booted the router. Everything worked fine, i logged in with the basic account root/opnsense and restored the old backup. This worked fine for one flash card.
The router works fine with it...

So, now, I wanted to store a backup on another flashcard without having to switch of our router. To do so I started the same routine again, BUT: With two different Flash cards it does not work this way anymore.

I log into the basic installation - which actually gets booted - choose the backup and click restore and after this ... the router will not boot anymore from this flash drives.

What am i doing wrong? It worked once but now i fail and i do not know why...and I do not know how to find the error. I'm working in OS X...

Best, hirschferkel

Are you using dd to copy the card or one of the same model?

Yes i'm using dd rdisk
It's a different model, but there was a working PFSense installed on it, which i overwrote, now.

As i wrote i can log in the first time, but i even can't reboot, with only the Nano image installed and without any restore of a backup. Hitting restart from GUI ends in nothing... kind of wired. Don't know what to do?

Code: [Select]
sudo dd if=/Users/xxx/Downloads/OPNsense-17.7-OpenSSL-nano-amd64.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=4m
