Yesterday, I wanted to test clean install on a lab server. I took system backup and did clean install from blink image (R80.40 + T48). All went well up to the point where I had to restore from system backup. It failed telling me that I have missing dependency (R80.40 MTA T7). I tried to import the package but this also failed because of MTA not running. So, I had to re-establish SIC and install policy to get MTA running. Then everything was fine, happy end.
I am thinking if there is actually faster way to do this I am not aware of? Like install MTA package overriding dependencies ? Or login and try to start MTA manually w/o policy install ?
Your advice please ?
