Is it possible to backup the configuration to a usb stick, so when system is rebuilt on new drive, this can be imported.
I only need to backup the basic configuration (settings and rules) and not anything to do with extra packages installed
Yes, see: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/restore-during-install.html#restore-configuration-from-usb-during-install
