      Hello

      Is it possible to make every night a backup from the PFsene Config and send the backup file as a E-mail attachment??

      Best regards Christoph

        Possible, sure, but not easy. There isn't any code that would make that happen, but the necessary bits are on the box… there is an e-mail library, and the ability to add cron jobs.

        I wouldn't recommend sending your config via e-mail in plain text though, especially if it contains anything sensitive.

        There are many backup scenarios in the book and also on the doc wiki.
