How To Backup & Restore PfSense Firewall Configuration | Pfsense2.5.2 Restore Config To New Hardware

Описание: How To Backup & Restore PfSense Firewall Configuration | Pfsense2.5.2 Restore Config To New Hardware
In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to backup your pfsense Firewall configuration & how to restore your pfsense Firewall configuration.

Restoring from Backups:-
Backups are not useful without a means to restore them, and by extension, test them. Several means for restoring configurations are available in pfSense® software. Each method has the same end result: a running firewall identical to when the backup was made.
Backup Compatibility:-
The version of pfSense Plus or pfSense CE software is not as important as the Configuration Revision number when determining backup compatibility. Differences in the configuration revision number indicate changes in the format of the configuration data which makes them not directly compatible.
Backups using the same configuration revision can be restored as-is, both for complete configuration backups and partial (section-based) backups.
Complete backups with a lower configuration revision can be restored to a current version. The upgrade code will adjust the values in the configuration to convert it into a current format.
Partial (section-based) backups cannot be restored if they were taken on a version with a different configuration revision, as there is no mechanism for the upgrade code to handle partial backups.
Backups with a higher configuration revision cannot be restored to an older version. There is no mechanism to downgrade a configuration as the older version will have no knowledge of changes which happened in future versions of the software.
Restoring between pfSense CE and pfSense Plus or vice versa may work in many cases, but results depend upon the target hardware and version. For example, restoring to pfSense Plus on hardware with an integrated Ethernet switch may require manual adjustments. Contact Netgate TAC for specific guidance.

Restoring with the GUI
The easiest way for most users to restore a configuration is by using the GUI:
Navigate to Diagnostics -Backup & Restore
Locate the Restore Backup section .
Select the area to restore, or leave at the default selection for a complete backup.
Click Browse
Locate the backup file on the local PC
Click Restore Configuration
The firewall will then apply the configuration and reboot with the settings obtained from the backup file.
While easy to work with, this method has prerequisites when dealing with a full restore to a new installation. First, it would need to be done after the new target system is fully installed and running. Second, it requires an additional PC connected to a working network or crossover cable behind the firewall being restored.
Restore Options
Restore Area
Restores a backup containing only a single configuration area, rather than a complete configuration backup.
*Warning1:-
Restoring a single area does not trigger a reboot nor does it cause any part of the configuration to be reapplied. To ensure the restored configuration area is active, issue a reboot or manually refresh the configuration for the relevant area after restore (e.g. edit/save/apply on a page, issue a filter reload, etc).
*Warning2:-
When restoring a single area, the area being restored must be from the same version. Single areas do not support running upgrade code on the configuration, and thus cannot be adjusted if the format of the area changed from a previous version.
*Warning3:-
This does not restore one area from a full backup, the backup file must only contain the area to restore.
