Wanted to throw out a simple feature request--some form of idiot reminder to export your config before applying an update.
This could be as simple as a static string with a link to the backup/export page--or could be more complicated like storing whether there's been an export of the config.
Note: Tying it to time or change could also work. Just though that dummy reminder could be appreciated!
Best reminder for me was to have an update early in my time with OPNsense go horrendously sideways (they usually go pretty smoothly). I had no config backup and started from scratch. I now have nightly backups of my config. So now I don't have to think/worry about it.
Hah, right? Everyone has some story (or will). How do you do an automated backup? Where does the backup live?

I put in a feature request (or maybe a rant, I'm not sure) for more "traditional" backup options like SMB or FTPS. I doubt any of that will get added. However there are multiple options for backup. The simplest I've found is setting up a quick Nextcloud server and sending backups to that. I use the server exclusively for Nextcloud backups. It works well, and I installed a plugin to manage retention on Nextcloud.
I can help you along the way if you'd like and explain my trials and tribulations lol.
