Title: Best way to clone my setup?
Post by: SuperMiguel on September 01, 2022, 09:44:48 pm

Hello all i need to move my entire configuration (clone) from one machine to another one, meaning 100% settings, add ons, etc etc. Whats the best way to do so? Does the full backup include addons and settings for them?

Create and save a backup (System: Configuration: Backups) from your "old" system.
Then do a fresh install of OPNsense on your "new" system.
Restore the backup config-file in your "new" system, reboot and that's it.
(check if the network interfaces are correct on the new system, if the nic vendor differs on both systems).

I believe so yes. I had a restore done and my addons were also restored.
(what systems are we talking about, maybe you can do a harddisk swap or clone it 1 on 1).
