Are you talking about store and forward or just memory in general? ---

Its saying my buffer is too small. Is that store and forward? ---

Hi, It’s really hard to say what it is, can you maybe post a screen shot of the actual error? It might be the store and forward engine, but that most likely indicate that you have problems storing data quickly enough, not necessarily that the buffer is simply too small. You can also try exporting the gateway log from Configuration\>Console, and attaching it, or emailing it to support (or creating a ticket from the support portal) Regards, ---

I increased the store and forward size and it seems okay. NOW, there are other issues. Working on my scan class times and divisions to make that happen. ---

Hi guys, does anyone know, in the gwbk file where I can find the tags. I'm referring to like , what is the path or the location in which the tags will be stored or how it can be checked, consider that I need to take some tags from a gwbk without restoring it. How we can achieve this. ---

I don't think you can. Tags are stored in the Internal DB I think. Your best bet is to restore into an isolated/test machine, then do a tag export.
