Same Public Key Is Found

Symptom


Error message:

This host has the same public key as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx



Cause


A backup has been restored to a new machine, and the same public keys are on the new machine as were on the original machine that the backup was made from.

A duplicate of an earlier agent install has been found on a new machine.

Resolution


Uninstall the agent software, and reinstall (now is a good time to check for an upgrade!)

Linux - run the command:

/usr/bin/r1soft-uninstall-buagent

Windows: Start > Programs > R1Soft Windows Agent > uninstall
