I’m assuming you’re asking how you load the Challenge Gateway Backup onto your own server. On your Ignition Gateway go to Configure / System / Backup/Restore.

MAKE SURE YOU CREATE A BACKUP FIRST, AS RESTORING A GATEWAY BACKUP WILL OVERWRITE ANYTHING ALREADY ON YOUR GATEWAY.

You can then select the Restore tab and choose the Challenge Gateway Backup .gwbk file before pressing the Restore button.

Thank you AlThePal for your reply.

Ok, but this file doesn’t exist in the folder at “[https://inductiveuniversity.com](https://inductiveuniversity.com) \> UniversityChallengeBackup\_v7\_7”

Thanks

To take one of the certification tests you have to complete all the relevant courses on Inductive University and then apply through your Inductive Automation sales rep. They will then send you an email containing a link which allows you to download a zip file. This file contains the necessary gateway backup.
