Hi, I'm trying to set up an HMC to my z114 I bought on eBay. I have the SEs running just fine, but when I'm trying to install the HMC it asks for a backup USB.
If I bypass the dialog to launch the HMC with default settings, everything seems to work fine. I can run the backup of critical data for the CPC for example, but it seems like the one the HMC requires is another type (it logs an error about not finding hmcbkp.tar.pk1 or similar, while the SE/CPC backups are named differently). Trying to run the Backup Critical Console Data fails straight away with next to no details. The message is "The backup tar file could not be created" and the LIC error "Service is required" is emitted to HMC1 on hardware messages. Is there a way I can create this initial backup USB so I can make the HMC happy?
