Help manually exporting settings

[strawdog74]

Hi there,

Can anyone confirm what files are backed up by "Export Settings" in the Web Gui?

eg - /data/freenas-v1.db

I have a broken Web Gui so need to perform the export manually so I can import them after a fresh instally (to a new USB). Also, are they compressed/renamed during the export?

Yes that's it. You can restore your copy of that file via the GUI.

Great, that sounds easy enough....thanks!

Yup...can confirm that the only file you need to restore ALL your settings is freenas-v1.db.

It even restores the JAIL perfectly. Why can't all OS's be like that?
