For some reason the link to [http://localhost:8088/system/backup/partial](http://localhost:8088/system/backup/partial) fails. Says it is not available? This is on a VMWARE development Windows 10 Pro OS I cannot make any backups to move the Edge project to its runtime machine... ---

Look in your gateway log for errors while the gateway attempted to construct the backup. (Lack of disk space, lack of memory, perhaps.) ---

Interesting for sure.... Is there a manual way I can backup the Edge project?? ---

I didn't install SQLite... Is that installed with the EDGE installation? On the Ignition Gateway projects I install SQL separately ---

SQLite is a SQL-compatible single-file database used by Ignition internally for, among other things, the internal database used to store all gateway configuration. You don't have to install it; it's built in to Ignition. That error Phil highlighted suggests something's gone _very_ wrong with the SQLite process. I've never seen it before. You should really contact support. You could try using the gateway command line utility ([gwcmd](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Gateway+Command-line+Utility+-+gwcmd)), but I have no reason to think it would do any better than the web UI here.
