      Hi all,

      I've just signed up for gigabit internet service and realized my D525 Atom based supermicro box will likely not pull full speeds - thus it's upgrade time!

      My current setup is not very complex, I do have OpenVPN (with custom certs, etc), Snort, pFBlockerNG and a few other packages. My understanding is that the backup xml file saves all the configs but…:

      • Does it also save the entire OpenVPN configuration, including certs, etc?

      • Will it auto reinstall packages?

      • Does it port over keys/customer entries, etc, for packages like snort and pfblockerng?

      Thanks in advance!
