Are you trying to import the dedupe when the appliance is standalone ( i.e. removed from CAS) or when it is part of the CAS.
If standalone and you are getting that error , that means the same name is existing in applianceservername\bkupexec ---> BEDB ----> device table and when you provide the same name, it complains that the name allready exists. So you can try importing by giving another name and see if it works. Else you will need to connect to BKUPEXEC instance and check BEDB -> device table , take out those old entries and then try to reimport.
If the Appliance is still connected to the CAS, then the removal of appliance dedupe name will need to be done from the CAS\BKUPEXEC Instance -> BEDB --> device table. In any case try to first attempt with not using the old name and see if the import goes through.

Hi Gurvinder
The MBE is stand alone.
First, we try reimport the dedupe changing the name, from "Appliance_Dedupe_MX-GT01-B001" to "Appliance_Dedupe_MX-GT01-B001_Disk" but the error persist.
Then, we delete all entries "Appliance_Dedupe_MX-GT01-B001" on the Device table of the BEDB and we retry the import but is failing with this message:
Please your support.
Thanks friend.

Hi Gurvinder
Thanks for your help.
We delete all entries from DB:
After that, when we restarted the BE services, the dedupe and postgre sql services change to βDisabledβ:
Then, when we retry the Import we have 2 cases:
This errors appears:
Can you help us please?
Thanks!

Ok, connect to the localhost\bkupexec instance. In BEDB -> check the pdde_configuration table. Since this is standalone BE, you can clear the entry in it and then try the reimport.
Note: If no dedupe folder is configured in UI , then the services of dedupe are set to disabled. Thats normal. When you import the dedupe, they will automatically get set to automatic and start.

And we retry the Import with not success, the issue continue:
