      The docs here:

      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/configuration-backup-and-restore.html

      aren't explicit as to whether the 'Diagnostics > Backup & Restore' feature also saves settings related to packages like pfBlockerNG and Suricata. Does it?

      (I'm planning to wipe my device and reformat as ZFS this weekend.)

      Thanks.
