      Hello I am trying to restore a AutoConfigBackup from another pfsense.
      I followed this manual:
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/autoconfigbackup.html#restoring-backups-from-another-firewall-or-a-previous-installation .
      But when I am trying to restore the config. I always get this error. The following input errors were detected:
      The decrypted config.xml is under 50 characters, something went wrong. Aborting.
      SHA256 values do not match, cannot restore. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx != yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

      Does someone know how to solve this issue?

        Usually that would indicate that you didn't provide the correct encryption password
