      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.

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