8.1.1.11 Installation Fails when attempting to create a backup of the current Installation

Oracle provide a solution for this issue

In the installation location ...\Siebel_Enterprise_Server\Disk1\install there is a file named oneclick.properties

Open it into an editor and locate the line

BACKUP_FOLDER=

Please specify the location where the backup should be taken.

The backup will be made to

$BACKUP_FOLDER\$SIEBEL_ROOT

e.g In Siebel is installed in /sblqa, and the BACKUP_FOLDER=/temp/backup, then the backup will be made to /temp/backup/sblqa

The installer then needs to copy the contents of the existing installation to backup location specified above and then try to delete the contents of existing installation directory.

Modify the backup command line to do a copy instead of a move command:

e.g.

#UNIX_BACKUP_CMD will be used in case BACKUP_FOLDER parameter has a non empty value. Do not change %SOURCE_ORACLE_HOME_LOCATION% and %BACKUP_LOCATION% in command

UNIX_BACKUP_CMD=cp -r ORACLE_HOME_LOCATION BACKUP_LOCATION&&rm -rf ORACLE_HOME_LOCATION/*

Save the file and rerun the install.
