I found it at /cf/conf/config.xml

I copied it and /usr/local/etc/ (to get my custom dnsmasq settings) using scp to another computer. I'll install the latest 1.2 BETA and restore.

18.8.2. Backing up to the current directory

Chris Buechler wrote a shell script to just back up the file with the filename DATE-config.xml, without committing it into CVS.

    #!/bin/sh
    USER=admin
    PASS=XXXXXX
    PROTO=http
    M0N0IP=192.168.1.1
    NOW=`date [EMAIL PROTECTED]:%M`
curl -s -o ${NOW}-config.xml -F Submit=download -u ${USER}:${PASS} ${PROTO}://$M0N0IP/diag_backup.php



but I don't think it will work in my case because the web interface is not working.

Is the xml configuration stored in a particular file that I can just copy from the command line?

Hello,

My pfsense install has been working well for a while, but I had to reboot it today.

After the reboot, the web interface will not load. What can I do to backup the configuration from the command line so that I can restore to a new installation.

I know how to backup from the web interface ( Diagnostics > Backup/Restore ) and I have a backup that is about a couple months old, but I would much rather have a current backup than the old backup.

Any help in accomplishing this from the command line would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Matthew Metzger
