Hi, Ignition 7.9.11, I had a lot of tags in the project and suddenly when I open the last project backup I see an Error icon in the tags folder. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/2/526565fca2ab5b0a7e4bd8cddee7076afc3a7f56.png) How to fix it ? Thanks. ---

Project backups don’t contain tags. Tags are global–not belonging to any project–so you need a gateway backup. Or an export of just the tags from the designer to import in the new server. ---

I meant a gateway backup, thanks. I changed the name of the server before few days ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/f/0f243845c9e4c69083f887a6e95a426e54879298.png) Is it related ? ---

most likely xd ive had this happen to, but it was jsut a new folder i made to do some tests… so if i deleted the folder everythign went fine again. it had nothign rly imporant in it. I did kinda forget why i was doing the tests tho xD or what i found out that caused the error xd I believe restarting the gateway reseted the tags to the previous good state for me. you will have to find out why somethign went bad tho. ---

Go look at the status for your default tag provider. ---

Let me clarify: What is the default tag provider _in that project_? (There is no default at the gateway level, even if only one is present.)
