Hi,
I had to re-install my home firewall last night, and ran into a few annoyances during the restore of my backup file...
Used the 7.401 ISO...
1. restoring backup from USB key does not work for me.
I put file 'me.dyndns.org_7.401_2009-04-09_01-15.abf' into the root of a 128MB USB stick, FAT32 format, empty except for one empty directory
During boot, Astaro said
:: Backup restore (pause) :: Starting Notification daemon done
Note both of those items were on the same line.
I tried rebooting twice with the key installed.
This isn't the best-quality USB key I have, but it was the only one that was empty. It's possible it's the key's fault, but a little more info from the firewall would have been nice.
2. must go through "Basic System Setup" before restoring backup from webmin
This is a nuisance and slows down restoring by a couple of minutes.
I realize that the SSL keys are re-generated during this process, but istm that could be done during the restore.
3. difficult to tell when backup reconfig is completed (beeps would be nice)
4. My IPSEC Site-to-Site VPNs did NOT reconnect after the restore.
The Site-to-Site VPN status page showed them as down.
I had to disable and re-enable the Connection, and now it works.
5. A reminder to reset all of the console passwords would be nice during/after a restore on a new machine.
Thanks,
Barry
