Updating a OPNsense backup machine

[Gielt]

I am using OPNsense in my small company. I am running it on a dedicated box. Because of the importance of internet I have bought a second dedicated box which will sit idle on the shelf until there will be a hardware failure on the first box.

The problem is in keeping the second box updated. Right now i will first update the first box through GUI, changes boxes and update the second box through the GUI. It feels like this is not best practice.

Is there a way to download the update files to a USB and update the second box from USB?

Hi.

Is there a way to download the update files to a USB and update the second box from USB?

New install with the most recent version and import the configuration.
