I thought I was going crazy after 24.7 clean install but there are indeed 2 bugs.
Clean install due to it being a major release and to avoid problems, I noticed that:
1. WireGuard crashes for no reason without error. I have a cron job to restart the WireGuard every 0:00AM.
2. Backups aren't restored like 24.1 used to.
This post will cover backups only.
When I restored the backup from 24.1 to 24.7, I picked section by section to be restored, NIC name and a few things won't be the same if swapping to another hardware so why.
Restore from 24.1 to 24.7:
1. Does not recognize "Firewall Groups" with error messages.
2. All the Outbound rules were not imported with no error. I had to manually enable "automatically generated rules are applied after manual rules" and create them.
I got a new box to clean install and as usual, restore section by section, DHCP, VPN and Firewall since these are the only ones I care.
I have done this process countless times with the previous version as I have tested 2 boxes and Proxmox, it always worked, no issue, no dramas.
Restore from 24.7 to 24.7:
1. The entire Firewall section does not restore no matter what.
I have so many rules and NAT to force all my devices to both DNS ( Pi-Hole + Unbound ) and block DoT and DoH among other rules, and hard coded DNS on IoT.
I had to put the older box back because I am not screenshotting all those rules to manually create them haha
Has anybody else who have performed a clean 24.7 install noticed that their backups were not imported in full??
Thank you
Yes, I have checked the backup files and all the rules are there but 24.7 refuses to restore them all.
