Hello,  
I have made a Gateway back up and then a gateway restore and now on the gateway web page there is a message Ignition “gateway is starting” for 2 hours, i have a bad feeling…  
If anyone has info about this?

You will need to look at your wrapper log file to see what happened. Since `ignition.conf` is part of a restore, and some values in it can be incompatible with the new platform, edits might be necessary. But the wrapper log should at least give you a hint.

In the wrapper log this is disturbing:
