      Good morning everyone.
      Sometimes i must restore a SG1100 config to another SG1100 due to crashes, i have all .xml stored locally and i have also a pen-drive with a image a got from Netgate support.
      I run usbrecovery and after that log as admin accept the therms than restore the .xml file ALL Areas the system imports the file but after that the system reboots then freeze in the syslog as the attached image.
      What can i do to stop this syslog process or import the .xml correctly?
      Thank you.syslog lock.png

        It's not the syslog process that is the problem, you can see that reports 'done'. It's whatever is next causing the issue.
        It's more likely the package reinstall process if you are restoring onto a box that doesn't have a valid WAN connection. There were a number of things put in to improve that situation though, what pfSense version are you restoring into?
        Are you in fact doing that without a WAN connected?
