      Hi guys,

      Is it possible do back up configuration from a running v2.0.1, and restore it to a fresh installation of v2.0.3?

      It's a nanobsd installation on 4GB CF card. I'd just make a settings backup of the running one, shut down, pull out the running card, insert a fresh one with the new install, and restore the earlier config.
      This way, I could have a fully working backup with the original working state. If something turns out to be a blocker, I'd just simply push back the old CF card in the slot.

        Yes. There is code in the config importer to allow for older versions. This won't necessarily work the other way around though.
