      I have pfsense+ in production and in test environment. The network configuration is the same in production and test environment. I like to transfer pfsense+ configuration from production to test enviroment. How to backup whole configuration, in production, except for the licence information for pfsense+?

        Everything is in the pfSense config file. Just back it up from the test device and restore it into the production device. The NDI is not in the config so won't be changed.

            The registration token? No. Once a device has been registered the token is expired and not used anywhere.
