        Backup config, install new pfSense and restore the config. You will have to reassign the interfaces if they differ from the original machine.

          It's different versions
          Would it work correctly ?

          What about the packages ?
          Do I need to back up them too ?

          Different versions of different packages

            You can always import a lower version config to a new version. There's code in place to update your configuration.

              Probably.  Try it and see how it goes. Diagnostics - Backup/Restore.

              What about the packages ?

              If you backed up your config with packages then they will be reinstalled as part of the restore.

              Do I need to back up them too ?

              Obviously.  Otherwise, how would pfSense know to install them?
