Is Restoring OPNsense from a Backup Template Safe and Future-Proof?

[Vangsguard]

Hi there.

I'm trying to create a "template" for my OPNsense devices. I've noticed that you can download a backup and restore it on a brand new OPNsense using the downloaded file, which works great. However, is this a safe method? Is there a possibility that in the future the configuration files' format might change? Could installing a plugin interfere with the configuration file, or could anything else happen? Or will this method remain the same forever?

Best regards

Answer no more needed as our company have stopped using OPNSense for a multitude of reasons

The answer to your question was a singular "yes" as you would likely expect from a backup.
