    Can a backup from a 1537 pfSense unit be loaded onto a 6100 and 8200 hardware without issue?

      @integrityrv In general yes. If the source had a built in switch (1100/2100/3100) you might need to have Netgate support convert the config for you which they will do for free. Otherwise it will ask to assign interfaces during the restore. The new one must be the same or later pfSense version.

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
