      Is there anyway to take backup of whole pfsense version which can be restore if something goes wrong apart from config file.

      Not easily. There are ways, but none of them worth the effort. Just backup config.xml and you'll be fine in almost all cases.

        Thanks for help Gertjan and Jimp.
        one last question can you help me to understand difference between Newgate ADI and AMD64 (64-bit).
        I can see two options while downloading PFSense 2.4.4 p3, I have Newgate SG-4860 hardware with me.

          I always thought that when you have a "Netgate device" you have a Netgate account, activated with the ID of that device, and that you have you're own firmware storage access.
          Better yet : that is the main advantage of having a Netgate's device.
          I'm also pretty sure that that question (where do I get the updates from ), and many more, is answered with the doc that came with the device.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            If it's an SG-4860, you'll want the ADI image. But you should contact support to get the factory ADI image for that hardware, rather than using CE.

              You do... And you don't need a support contract, etc.

              This leads to different download then the CE download site that everyone has access too.

                      Added to all those (mine !) guesses, I really thought, when some one buys a Netgate device, instructions about how to maintain it up to date are delivered with it.
                      Am I wrong ?

                      I really like to know .... I'll be ordering a 'real' Netgate' box very soon now.

                        Huh? There is not really much difference to the CE.
