      Hi

      I managed to nuke my sg5100. I have reinstalled pfsense plus through the console. I now don't have access to my old backups from pfsense/netgate cloud and it only shows my config since the reinstall.

      Is it possible to access my old configs? The config wasn't what nuked my firewall.

      Many thanks

        Hrm turning on auto config backup does show some but from May 2022. My device broke around February this year. Any idea how I can access those backups?

          @yea See https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/autoconfigbackup.html#bare-metal-restoration

          or maybe https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/restore.html#restoring-by-mounting-the-disk if you have the old disk.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            If you send me your NDI in chat I can check if there were any other keys used by it.
            If you are seeing any old backups at all though it probably imported the old key.
