Description
Page: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/restore.html
Feedback:
On the "Restore area" section of the page, include a note/warning specifying the following:
When restoring a specific area, additional restore steps may not be executed that would otherwise be ran when restoring a full configuration backup.
This is the case when restoring an OpenVPN configuration. I'm unsure what other areas it may apply to.
- Status changed from New to Feedback
My intent was to hint towards the potential issue of restoring a specific area (e.g. openvpn) and not having upgrade steps take place on that area that would otherwise be executed through a full restore or release upgrade. For example, when restoring only the OpenVPN config area from 2.4.5p1 to 2.5, the resulting config is slightly different than if upgrading pfSense.
- Status changed from Feedback to In Progress
OK, the description did not mention upgrade code at all, or hint at it. I can add that as well.
- Status changed from In Progress to Feedback
Additional warning now in place, will show up shortly when it rebuilds.
- Status changed from Feedback to Resolved
