I have a *.gwbk file that I can restore just fine on one PC but not another. Trying to restore in on the other PC just causes the system to lock up. It goes through the whole procedure like it’s restoring but it gets hooked up on “Gateway Starting”. Could there be an issue with Windows Firewall or an installed antivirus software that’s causing this? I’ve done a fresh install of the lastest version of Ignition and Java and it’s a licensed free install. Help is appreciated.
You’re going to want to look at the wrapper.log file to get a hint as to what’s going on. How big is the backup file?
The backup file is about 6meg.
Ok thats tiny. Check out wrapper.log for some hints, or post it here and we can take a look at it.
This is what the first few lines of the wrapper.log file look like:

I was able to finally fully restore the *.gwbk file. I don’t know if this makes sense, but I had to transfer the file from my laptop via a memory stick to the pc I wanted the project to run on. What happened before was that I emailed the file to a colleague and he saved that file to his laptop and then transferred it to the pc via a memory stick. I don’t know how that could corrupt the file but it appears that saving the file from email and then transferring via memory stick causes issues. I’ve had no problems emailing backup files and being able to restore them directly onto the recipients laptop. I guess it’s just this one scenario.
