This is a shameless post to promote being able to export (and perhaps even import) tags directly from the Gateway. No need to log into the designer to make a backup of UDTs or Realtime tags. > **[Export tags from gateway | Ignition Features and Ideas | Inductive Automation](https://inductiveautomation.canny.io/ignition-features-and-ideas/p/export-tags-from-gateway)** > > I have to open the designer to export tags. It would convenient if I were able to do this from the gateway. I like to backup the gateway, project, and tags ---
