Was wondering if it does not, or if I missed a checkbox that doesn't seem visible.
Alright so I say this with humility and am happy to say I see the error of my ways.
I did everything right, and yet nothing moved over from the backup. Until I realized "duh" I did not update the OPNSense install and enable the Plugins!
It all worked as it is supposed to, in which I had no doubt it "should" I just did not look deep enough at the time.
SOLVED
