Hello  
Is there any workaround to force Ignition when backup a gateway, include  
`\Ignition\webserver\webapps\main` folder in backup zip file?  
This folder may contian project specific files like map tiles, PDF, …  
Manual copying thos folder along other resources like `com.inductiveautomation.perspective` for fonts is really hard for each restore in new system.
