3.3 Backup and Restore

It is important to backup the firewall configuration prior to updating or making any configuration changes. From the
menu at the top of the page, browse to Diagnostics > Backup/Restore.
Click Download configuration as XML and save a copy of the firewall configuration to the computer con-
nected to the pfSense firewall.
This backup (or any backup) can be restored from the same screen by choosing the backed up file under Restore
Configuration.
Note: Auto Config Backup is a built-in service located at Services -> Auto Config Backup. This service will save
up to 100 encrypted backup files automatically, any time a change to the configuration has been made. Visit the Auto
Config Backup page for more information.

3.3.1 Connecting to the Console

There are times when accessing the console is required. Perhaps GUI console access has been locked out, or the
password has been lost or forgotten.
