      I have an SG-2220.

      Just bought this

      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Minisys-4-Lan-pfsense-minipc-Intel-atom-E3845-quad-core-mini-itx-motherboard-linux-firewall-computer/32825684280.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.r310Dm

      and installed latest pfSense on it.

      Will I be able to simply restore the backup file from the SG-2220 or do I have to reconfigure all?

        Well I answered my own question.  When I installed and booted it told me my VLAN parent interfaces no longer existed and I had to fix.  So I set all the interfaces and hit save and seemingly nothing happened.  A freeze up.  I scratched my head and tried again and then again and then I actually looked at the VGA monitor instead of the webconfigurator and saw the word "reboot".

        It saved the config and then rebooted…........and came back alive with a new IP address.  D'oh.  I did it right the first time.

        I'll yank the SG-2220 tomorrow and install the new device.  Should be plug and play at this point.
