23.1 Legacy Series / Restore Nightly Google Drive Backup To Cold Storage Machine
« on: February 03, 2023, 07:29:48 pm »
So I am running into a bit of a catch 22 and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have 2 nearly identical boxes for OPNSense, with my primary having 2.5GB ports and the cold standby have 1GB ports. I tried doing High Availability, but my Unifi Wireless Access Points can't seem to handle that setup at all and stop responding/only respond intermittently, so I had to abandon that idea. So my next idea was to just make the systems clones of each other, leave one off, and if it has issues, restore from a nightly backup to the other box.
The issue I am running into is the interface names of the ethernet ports don't match (Box 1 is igc0 - igc3, while box 2 is igb0 - igb3). Normally, with a manual backup, I simply don't encrypt, and can then update the configuration before updating the other box. However with the encrypted backups the the Googke Drive interface does, that isn't an option. I have tried renaming the interfaces to match, but that never seems to survive a reboot, even when modifying the /etc/rc.conf file. Is there a way to rename the inr=terfaces to match? Or a way to decrypt the backups easily to make the appropriate changes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
