Jan,

To fix the issues, I am going to create a new server, this time on i386
platform. Please advise me if it is correct to replicate my (possibly
corrupted) volume to the new server, move the SCM function there and
then destroy the old server, or I should rather restore my files to the
new server from backup.

Regards,
Janusz
