easy way to revert to former revision of OPNsense?

[bongo]

as i have persisting issues with OPNsense (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=44197.0) i wonder if there is an easy way to revert to a former version of OPNsense without losing any configuration and with no unwanted side effects.

if yes, how exactly do i need to do this to be risk free?

thank you very much!

Would a current backup of the Opnsense configuration not work with a release that is older but still in the same version, ie downgrading from the latest 24.7.9_1 to a earlier 24.7? I'm considering doing this myself, as I too seem to find some new quirk every other day with this latest release, when the previous update seemed to be running without any issues.

The answer is: it depends. It may work, but in general it only offers forward compatibility, backwards compatibility is more or less accidental.


Cheers,

Patch worked for me as well.
