      but i want to upgrade to latest version i tried on virtual machine to restore on latest restore doesn't work..

      Does not work ?
      That's all the info you have ?

      The config.xml file can be loaded into another machine, but interface (driver) names like em0, fxp0 or re1 will not be the same. You have to attribute interfaces and match their names first.

          2.4.5 is not working for you ?
          It doesn't install ? Portal ? You have new issues because you don't know how to set up a virtual machine ? What ?

          I'm using the portal right now, using 2.4.5, and it works as before.

          Ok, true, I'm not using vouchers, just a portal that is FreeRadius based.
          Voucher do work when I activate them.

              As said above : use what looks like the console access, activate SSH, and a program like FileZilla. It will be a click click click procedure to backup (edit, copy, move) any file in the pfSense file system.
              Billions of people that maintain internet sites or other remote system already use them.
              It's not rocket science.

                  Of course.
                  The question is : do you really want to ?

                  As said above, I use a Windows program (see link above) to retrieve the config.xml every day at 16h00.
                  The Windows task scheduler start it every day at 16h. Works very well.

                  It could have been done with some scripting, I guess. I never studied that Windows Power Scripting shell myself (it's a pain in the xxxxx and I never had any need for it).

                  Another idea : you have a USB thumb disk ? Your pfSense has a USB port ?
                  Learn how to insert that USB disk .... and mount it.
                  Now, write a simple cron task that copies the files, and while doing so renaming it by adding the date like "20200423_" in front of it.
                  The USB disk could MSDOS or FAT32 formatted. This format can be mounted and read/write by pfSense.

                  Btw : a VM would allow you to clone the VM easily. So you have a spare copy.

                  Or : something I would do : repair your setup => it won't crash any more. No more unhappy clients, no more hassle, no more need to repair things.

                              WINSCP can't be automatized. It's a click an pray program.

                              You'll be needing a "home made" script file.
                              hings would be really easy if pfSense could send mails with attachments.
                              In the past, pfSense used phmailer, the famous mail with PHP project, but it's abandoned now.
                              See here /etc/inc/phpmailer/ - several files are missing (but you could repopulate them).

                              Or use what my grand father used : rsync - which is the tool for the task.

                              This could be a solution : visit this forum : https://forum.netgate.com/category/30/bounties
