Can’t seem to find anything in the forum or manual. Can a project created on a Windows gateway be imported to Linux and macOS gateways? Who about gateway backups? I’m hoping yes, it’s Java and the host gateways JVM/JRM should take care of it. Thank you. Regards, Ted. ---

Projects, yes. Gateway backups, almost. You have to fix the filesystem paths in `ignition.conf` to point to the correct locations. (True in either direction.) Also, if you have gateway scripts that interact with the filesystem, you may have to fix those, too. ---
