I saved the backup of the config by clicking download and saving the config-[myrouterdns]-[date]-xml file.

I then replaced the hardware, installed a fresh copy opnsense, setup the basic config, and downloaded backup of a fresh config.

I went to compare the 2 xml files to migrate settings and realized that both xml files are actually the webpage.

Code Select
<!doctype html>
<!--[if IE 8 ]><html lang="en-US" class="ie ie8 lte9 lte8 no-js"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]><html lang="en-US" class="ie ie9 lte9 no-js"><![endif]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--><html lang="en-US" class="no-js"><!--<![endif]-->

Looks like a bug. The page you see is likely the gege you use for download. You can use the backup from an external server if you have pushed it there or you can download it via the os-backup plugin or via SSH (SCP or SFTP).

I was able to boot the old machine offline, backup the config with the following process and then import it into the new install via the web.

Code Select
mkdir /media/usb
mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /media/usb
cp -R /conf /media/usb

Not sure if there is anything else I should backup for plugin configs. Everything seems to be back up and working.

Just done a backup, looks like xml to me, here is the start of the file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<opnsense>
  <theme>opnsense</theme>
  <sysctl>
    <item>
      <descr>Increase UFS read-ahead speeds to match the state of hard drives and NCQ.</descr>
      <tunable>vfs.read_max</tunable>
      <value>default</value>
    </item>
    <item>


here is the release info
***GOT REQUEST TO CHECK FOR UPDATES***
Currently running OPNsense 22.1.2_1 (amd64/OpenSSL) at Mon Mar  7 16:43:49 GMT 2022
