Hi, I'm running Ignition 8.0.10 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS servers and VMs and am having trouble restoring a `.gwbk` file through the `/usr/local/bin/ignition/gwcmd` CLI utility on both. I can restore a backup well through the gateway web portal but when I execute the command `sudo /usr/local/bin/ignition/gwcmd --restore mf_ignition_gateway_backup_2020_04_06__07_00_01_UTC.gwbk --promptyes --disabled` I get the following message and the gateway stays in its old state. > Restoration success message was not received from the Gateway. Will attempt to place a \_\_restore.gwbk file in the data folder. > mf\_ignition\_gateway\_backup\_2020\_04\_06\_\_07\_00\_01\_UTC.gwbk I am unable to find the `__restore.gwbk` file it mentions and don't notice any abnormalities in the more recent entries in the `wrapper.log` file shown below. You can see the various attempts I made to restore a backup. > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:58 | I [g.ModuleManager] [16:39:58]: Starting up module 'com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.modbus' v6.0.10 (b2020031912)... module-name=Modbus Driver > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:59 | I [g.InternalDatabaseManager] [16:39:59]: Upgrading schema for module "com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.modbus" module-name=Modbus Driver > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:59 | I [g.InternalDatabaseManager] [16:39:59]: Upgrading schema for module "com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.modbus" module-name=Modbus Driver > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:59 | I [g.ModuleManager] [16:39:59]: Restarting module "com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.modbus" > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:59 | I [g.ModuleManager] [16:39:59]: Shutting down module 'com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.modbus' v6.0.10 (b2020031912)... module-name=Modbus Driver > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:59 | I [g.ModuleManager] [16:39:59]: Shutdown of module "com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.modbus" completed in 5 ms module-name=Modbus Driver > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:59 | I [g.ModuleManager] [16:39:59]: Starting up module 'com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.ablegacy' v5.0.10 (b2020031912)... module-name=Allen-Bradley Driver > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:59 | I [g.ModuleManager] [16:39:59]: Starting up module 'com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.modbus' (v6.0.10 (b2020031912))... > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:39:59 | I [g.ModuleManager] [16:39:59]: Starting up module 'com.inductiveautomation.opcua.drivers.modbus' v6.0.10 (b2020031912)... module-name=Modbus Driver > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:40:00 | I [g.ModuleManager] [16:40:00]: Starting up module 'com.inductiveautomation.reporting' v5.0.10 (b2020031912)... module-name=Reporting > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:40:00 | I [IgnitionGateway] [16:40:00]: Ignition[state=STARTING] ContextState = RUNNING > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:40:00 | I [IgnitionGateway] [16:40:00]: Gateway started in 38 seconds. > INFO | jvm 1 | 2020/04/06 16:40:32 | W [g.LicenseManager] [16:40:32]: Could not read license from HASP key.

Not sure if there is something obvious I'm missing here or if there are other logfiles I can check for errors.
