      Hello guys,
      I would like to ask if it is possible to mirror the pfsense installation after the system is installed. Because during installation it gave me such an option (to create a mirror) but I didn't have a 2nd drive. I've already put it on now, but the installation is complete and the pfsense configurations are done. Is it possible to make a mirror after installation or is this option only possible during installation? And if it is possible, how can it be done? Thanks in advance for your time!

        @markdudov It’s a very difficult and unsupported procedure to establish a mirror after the install.
        By far the easiest way is to backup your config, reinstall the box with a mirror and restore your config.

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

          Yup, that^. Restoring a config is easy compared with trying to create a mirror after install.
