I'm running 9.2.1.8 and since the 9.3 is almost upon us, I have a questions on what to do with the backup USB drive.
From the download page, you have the option of a fresh install (iso), upgrade, or FreeNAS USB Image.
I originally used the 9.2.1.8 FreeNAS USB Image for my current setup. But because I like to be prepared, I have an identical USB drive with the same image on it and I've been backing up my config via a cron job daily to another server.
When 9.3 is released, obviously I'm going to use the Upgrade option to upgrade my version to the latest.
However, once it's up and running, would I just burn the "9.3 USB image" on the backup USB drive and expect it to work the same as a replacement? Or is there a different procedure for getting my backup drive up to boot like the main/current USB drive post-9.3 upgrade? I know the versions will be the same, just didn't know if there were obvious issues of a fresh USB stick vs an upgraded FreeNAS USB stick.
Thanks for your help.
