Can I load the config saved from one SG-1100 onto another?

recoveringchemist

It looks like my SG-1100 has suffered an unrecoverable hardware failure. I had AutoConfigBackup enabled and I have the decryption key.
I have a few questions:
--AutoConfigBackup has stored my config on a NetGate server, right?
--Can I restore the config saved from one device to another device that is the same model?
--Are the SG-1100s sold today the same as the one that I bought two years ago or is there some change that would make the configs incompatible?
--Has anyone else done this before?

Thanks for any help.

Yes you can restore to the same or usually different hardware. Models with switches are a bit different because of how each handles it internally but Netgate support will convert it for free. But not needed with the same hardware.

Can’t say if it’s 100% the same but it doesn’t matter you can just restore.

Have restored to same and different hardware many times.
