      As noticed, sometimes when we try to install external packages the Pfsense stop and do not even boot, so we install a new fresh copy of pfsense and restore the configuration file but the packages never exist in the configuration file so we take long time to re install packages again and then restore the configuration file.
      Is it possible to make a full backup that I can restore it after formating the Pfsense?

        Diagnostics: Backup/restore

        Under backup configuration you have specified 'all'?

        If packages are not reinstalled have you then tried the Package Functions 'Reinstall packages'?
