Hello!

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/d/ad2ca4037b57eb1cac7774834fb8321417443efa.png)

I have recovered a gateway saved some days before it broke.  
Can I copy and paste a project folder from the original gateway to use it?

I tried it, and yes you can do that! But not sure if later will have some issues.

The orignal gatway stoped working because memory issues, it´s good practice to put it higher.

The gateway broke from memory issues? What does that mean? My money is it broke from something someone did to it.

The gateway memory should be set based on the complexity and size of your project. More tags for example = more memory needed, however high memory could also indicate an issue with your project
