Redeploy is the best practice.
That gateway VM is (mostly) stateless and outside of a few settings, such as local network configuration, all data is stored in AWS:

Restoring from a backup or a snapshot can be problematic for a number of reasons. First you could end up with 2 gateways that are identical clones, both talking to the service backend claiming to be the authority for the files/volumes/tapes. Second, restoring just the OS will result in the gateway needing to be reset since the cache/upload drives it expected are no longer there or have been replaced with new drives.
