Success with the restore!<br>
<br>
Thanks for pointing me out. What I did was just following the<br>
documentation, right or wrong.<br>
<br>
But when I run "Engine-setup" I got stucked with<br>
<br>
"[ INFO ] Stage: Setup validation<br>

<br>
Seems to be something missing from an earlier db-upgrade?<br>
