      Hello all,

      I have my first pfsense running. I am just good with the Live-CD install and floppy configuration storage. I am coming from monowall and needed a second WAN interface with DHCP.
      I like this slick setup and it is doing a perfect job for me.

      I know I can backup the configuration using the webgui. But I like also a second or third backup floppy to stick into the machine, if needed to be. Just in case!

      My question: What is the best way to make one or two copies of the floppy written by pfsense ?
      I noticed that there is more on the floppy then just the config xml file.

      If one of you would have a suggestion ?
      Thank you.

      Johannes

        got it as I found it in the docs.

        https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Automatically_Restore_During_Install

        The example with the USB drive gave the answer.
