Restoring Ignition Gateway Backups

After you created the Ignition backup file, you can restore it using the Gateway Webpage.

Note: As ALL the server's current configuration (except the activation status) will be permanently lost, we recommend you always make a backup of the existing server before restoring.

To restore the backup file

  1. Go to the Configure section of the Gateway.

  2. Click on System > Backup Restore.

  3. On the System Backup / Restore page, click the Restore tab at the top of the page.

  4. Click on Choose File, then go to Downloads folder, choose the .gwbk file, and click Open.

  5. Click on Restore.
    Gateway stops while restoring the backup file. When restoring is done, restarts itself to apply the restored settings and comes up again.
