Hi,
Been using Untangle for over 10 years now and was very happy up until today when I came to switch out my ageing hardware...
- Bought a new small fanless unit
- Backed up my existing config
- Made a new bootable USB with the latest version of Untangle
- Installed it
- Connected the new unit up as a DHCP client on my current network just to get going,
- Ran the setup wizard,
- Installed all the default apps
- Opened the command line from the untangle console
- Used SCP to copy the backup file I had made onto the new untangle box
- From the untangle UI select Config -> System -> Restore
- Select 'restore all settings'
- Select the backup file I just copied onto the unit
- Pops a dialog saying 'The restore process is running, this may take several minutes etc...'
- Then...
- Nothing..., nicht... sod all, is restored in any way, shape or form, no errors, no messages, its like I did nothing...
Can't tell you how disappointing this is, makes me want to ditch the whole thing and start again with another distro.
The 'migrating hardware' process is overly complicated. and for me at least, just doesn't work...
Does anyone know of any magic snake oil that will get the platform to do what it says on the tin, and actually restore my configuration !
