EAM + DMZ Gateway – Automating Image Library and Translation Sync? Hi everyone, We are currently using EAM to duplicate our Ignition Gateway from the production side of our network to a DMZ Gateway, which provides view-only access to our operators on their workstations. The goal is to minimize the number of users who need access to the production network, and overall this setup works very well. However, we’ve run into a limitation regarding Images and Translations. It appears there is no supported way to directly copy or synchronize: - the Image Repository - the Translation configuration between Gateways. I was able to migrate both by manually exporting and importing them on the DMZ Gateway, but our objective is to have a fully automated, duplicated HMI without having to maintain these items in two places. This is more of a _nice-to-have_ than a blocker, but: - we add new images almost monthly - we add new translations every year Ideally, I’d like to eliminate the need for an annual scheduled work order just to keep the DMZ Gateway in sync for these two resources. ### My questions: - Is there any supported method to automatically synchronize the Image Library and Translations between Gateways using ? EAM doesn’t offer this task. - Are there any best practices or workarounds (project resources, scripting, Gateway Network, etc.) to avoid manual updates? - Or is manual export/import currently the only supported approach? Thanks in advance for any guidance or shared experiences.strong text ---

I can't help with the translations, but consider **not** using the image library. Instead, put images into a database (as blobs) or into the gateway filesystem. You can serve these to Vision Clients with `system.util.sendRequest()` and to Perspective clients with the WebDev module. (Or, if in a database, with my free Blob Server module.) ---

Hi Phil, I did a few research and came accross the documentation page from your website for the Blob Server! I like the idea and I think I could use it for documents also that currently have powershell scripts. Where can I download this beauty? > **[Blob Server Module by Automation Professionals](https://www.automation-pros.com/blobserve/doc/)** ---
