Hi Oliver,

 you have the problem also if the source version is a 8.5(1).

Thanks for the feed back Christian.

We are actually running 8.6, butit seems we still need to do a fresh install after the upgrade to restore the data onto it. This is due to the fact that Cisco recommends 1 HD of 110Gb for version 9 while we run on 2 HD of 80 Gb on 8.6.

Cheers,

Olivier
