      I am planning to eventually move away from the slightly underpowered single core atom based box currently running pfSense to a virtualized instance of pfSense 2.2 (hoping Hypver-V 2012 R2 works with 2.2 as Hyper-V is the only hypervisor solution currently that meets my somewhat strange needs here and the last thing I want to do is nest another hypervisor inside at this time) on an i5-4590 server.

      The current install is NanoBSD, can I expect any headaches when attempting to restore a configuration backup to a regular FreeBSD install of pfSense?

        No, config file works across all versions. If you're using the serial console, you'll want to disable that for the VM.

          Thank you for your reply, good to know I'm free to switch distribution types easily.
