You may find yourself in the situation where, for an environmental reason, it is not possible to take a supported Backup from your ADMS Console. The following steps should only be carried out as a last resort when all other avenues have been explored.
On a clean machine (Restoring Machine)
- Install Vault Server on a new machine.
- After a successful installation, Start the ADMS Console.
- Delete the Vault Database (Right click on the Database > Delete).
- Tools > Detach Master Vault.
- In Windows Explorer, navigate to the SQL Data folder where the Database files are configured to reside. By Default this is going to be something like "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.AUTODESKVAULT\MSSQL\DATA" (This location will vary depending on your Operating System).
- Delete these files KnowledgeVaultMaster.mdf and KnowledgeVaultMaster_log.ldf.
