LMS 3.2 reinstall fails to detect good backup

[rgomes]

After a database corruption on RME 4.3.0 on a brand new lms 3.2 installation I removed RME 4.3.0.

The corruption was after some device packages updates.

Started the installation again to just install the RME 4.3.0 but the install proccess makes a backup and says the backup is in error.

The backup log has no errors, see attached backup.log.

On the attached install log look the lines:

HI ,

You can Installed RME 4.3.0 without the Backup taking place , for that you need to run the Setup from CLI as below :

C:\LMS >setup.exe nobackup

where c:\lms is the drive where you have ciscoworks setup.

I hope this will help you !!!

Thanks--

Thanks for the good hint.

Unfortnately as I had less time I had removed and reinstalled all.

Now all modules are up and running and discovery is under way.

The next time it happens, and I hope never happens, I will use your advice.
