Restore local gateway projects

[Mel]

Is it possible to restore local gateway projects after done PC reformat. Because I forgot to backup my latest projects and did not enable the auto backup in gateway settings, because my PC accidentally encountered fatal error, so I reformat it, and after that I installed Ignition again and all of project was gone.

Any suggestions/comments thanks in advance

Well, if you reformatted the drive, then you’re pretty well hosed.

Ignition does still make it’s own backups internally that can be found at {Install Dir}\contexts\main\db\autobackup that can help you get out of a jam, but you would have had to grab those before reformating.

Hi Jordan,
I forgot to take a backup of my gateway backup when I restored another Gateway and lost old project and gateway backup.
Is there anyway I can have my old project and gateway? ( Else I have to do my 3 days work again).

I have these file in autobackup folder. How to restore the latest?

I’d quickly go grab the files in the “autobackup” directory under “{Install Dir}\contexts\main\db\autobackup” and copy them aside. Upload the oldest and most recent to the uploads area using ticket id #1887. You should probably also shut down the gateway and zip up the main files in that “db” directory (just the various “settings” files) and upload that as well. Hopefully it’s something easy enough to recover from.
