Hi,

I just have a question. If I don’t have a gateway backup, is there other way to restore my gateway configuration?

I had seen some ‘database\_backup’ logs in console, and those files are in ‘tar.bz’ format.

Could I use this files in someway to restore my gateway configuration? and projects?

Regards.
