Hello all i need to move my entire configuration (clone) from one machine to another one, meaning 100% settings, add ons, etc etc. Whats the best way to do so? Does the full backup include addons and settings for them?

Create and save a backup (System: Configuration: Backups) from your "old" system.
Then do a fresh install of OPNsense on your "new" system.
Restore the backup config-file in your "new" system, reboot and that's it.
(check if the network interfaces are correct on the new system, if the nic vendor differs on both systems).

Will that include all addons configuration?

I believe so yes. I had a restore done and my addons were also restored.
(what systems are we talking about, maybe you can do a harddisk swap or clone it 1 on 1).
