If I've understood you correctly then you've effectively performed three separate steps :
1. You've deleted your account(s) and restored from (straight copy) backups 2. You've deleted and reinstalled the Universe home/program account 3. You've upgraded Universe So far as potential problems with each are concerned :- 1. If the straight copy was taken while the system was quiet (no users updating the system) and provided the account contents weren't changed after the backup then all should be fine. 2. You have potentially lost any changes made to your uv 10.1.3 account from the time you originally installed it. If you or your applications were using Global cataloging (if you don't know then you probably weren't) then you will need to recatalog everything. You will have lost the contents of the UV.Account file, but sounds like you've already restored those. I can't think of anything else that might have changed without you doing it deliberately, and hence knowing what you've changed 3. The message you got and the action you took represent the standard Uv account upgrade process so I can't see any issues there As to why the backups weren't compatible, I can't say ( I always use the "straight copy" method of backup) but I'm sure somebody who does know will chip in shortly hth Piers -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nelson Schroth Sent: 30 April 2006 17:01 To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] v10.0 Backups not compatible with v10.1 I just rebuilt my Win2k box and installed UniVerse 10.1.11 without difficulty. However, when I went into UVAdmin to Restore backups that I had made under v10.1.3, it said: This tape or file does not contain a valid UVbackup image". I spent a few hours looking around for any articles about this without luck. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
