HI,

To have 1 perspective gateway backup you need 2 licenses?

Cheers

The question is very vague. Is it scheduled backup? Why do you think you would need 2 licenses? What do you mean by **Perspective** gateway backup? A gateway backup would have all resouces in the gateway not just **perspective**. You might need to explain more about your setup.

Do you mean to setup failover gateway? Found this.[Perspective (Main Gateway and Failover) - #2 by pturmel](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-main-gateway-and-failover/87750/2)

I guess can also use the same license and redirect the project to the working gateway

Not really sure how that can work. I found this as well. [Redundant Licensing | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/platform/ignition-redundancy/redundant-licensing)
