Hello i just got a SMART failure notification, so i dont think my drive has much left on it. Last time i did a backup and restore i still had to manually install all plugins, and configure them, it was a bit of a pain. Is there a way to make a really full backup and restore it to another install/drive? Im also considering buying a offline harddrive cloning tool.

Opinions? Suggestions?

Harddrive cloning is included in OPNsense if you are able to use the command line. The clone command is called "dd".
Do you have an external USB drive that you could completely wipe to store a copy of your internal drive?
