If I coud find another drive, would I be able to backup and restore the local datbases, blocklists ids rules plugins etc. Like an exact mirror, but just with zfs+encryption?
I saw I can clone backup and restore but won't it restore with however the original drive was setup (so without encryption)?

Thanks for your support franco.

Thank you, will keep the discussion there.
to avoiding flooding that github issue with off topic, I have a slightly related question.
I have started to setup my machine on the non encrypted install (the ZFS GPT/UEFI Hybrid mode setting bcause that worked). My goal is to have the ZFS+encryption, if I figure this out what is the best way to clone my setup, reinstall, then restore that clone so it brings over all my interfaces, settings, plugins, etc. exactly how I had it, just on the ZFS+encryption install.
I don't have another empty drive to clone to. Does the web gui's XML export backup EVERYTHING?

I am suggesting the option to enable timestamps/date stamps for the rss widget.

My system currently only has one drive in it.

When installing Opnsense, if I select to install using ZFS GPT/UEFI Hybrid mode, it asks me to select the drive(s) (offering the boot usb and the intended install ssd). I select stripe, it asks which drives, I select only the install ssd, it goes through and says it will format that, and proceeds and completes without error. On reboot, I pull the usb, it detects in bios and boots fine from the ssd working system.

However, if I choose other modes > auto zfs (guided root-on-zfs), default settings except enable encryption, encrypted swap, increase swap size, then under pool type/disks I choose stripe, and it asks which of the two drives, I select only the ssd, not the usb.
I then go and select proceed with install, and it says it will format that drive (it doesn't say anything about the USB). All goes fine, but when I reboot and pull the usb, my system refuses to boot from the ssd. It says no media found, insert drive and reboot. Now if I reboot but plug in the usb, it boots fine without issues, and asks for my encryption password I had set when installing. In case the issue wasn't clear, the USB should have nothing on it besides the livecd to install. The SSD is the drive I am installing to.

It worked no issues when selecting zfs gpt/uefi hybrid mode.
I wanted encryption enabled. I don't see why that would affect this, but I just can't boot without the usb when I install using zfs gpt/uefi hybrid.
