Title: Any way to install 20.1.9 from 20.7 without wiping?
Post by: FullyBorked on August 05, 2020, 12:22:15 AM
I'm new to OPNsense maybe only a month or so max.  So I guess I didn't know better, assumed a stable release would have been more stable.  Now I'm not upset or making a rant post I understand things happen with major releases on non-standard hardware.  But I think I might be at the point of getting tired of fighting it.  I'm sure things will get patched up and stabilized a bit in time. 

In the mean time is there a way to go back to 20.1.9?  This is a clean install of 20.7 not an upgrade if that matters.  If not I'll just stick it out I suppose.

Did you take a backup of your settings before the Upgrade? If you did then it's relatively trivial to reinstall the previous version then import your settings otherwise, AFAIK, there's no possibility to downgrade.

Well I migrated to new hardware from an upgraded 20.7 box.  So the box i'm on currently has always been 20.7 so I don't have an older backup for this device.  Sounds like I might just be sticking it out.
