    Hello everyone,

    I would like to know if there is some how I can backup my Pfsense firewall. And what I mean by backup is have a copy of the pfsense's configuration, packages, logs etc. on a cd or DVD.

    My reason for this is that if something should happen either to the server that pfsense is running on or to pfsense itself i can just put the cd into another server and we have everything running in no time.

    Basically like a ghost image or something liket that.

    Is this possabile or is there something else that I can do?

    Thank you everyone in advance.

      Diagnostics –> Backup/Restore ?

          Well the same way you would copy a harddisk otherwise.
          Connect it to computer and dd it to another disk ;)
