Active voucher restore problem

Gertjan

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

@Gertjan i was checking config.xml file there are active voucher with timestamp before i made some changes in voucher.inc prior to restore and it restores the active cards upto versions 2.4.3. later versions not restores... can you look for this may be we can restore with some changes from voucher.inc

Gertjan

I do not have 2.4.3 - neither a working system with vouchers.
