1. Open a terminal session on the STA server, and log in as the Oracle user.
2. Clear all preference settings:

   $ ./staservadm –C
   
    Current STA Backup Service Settings:
      Configured            [no]
      File Transfer      –S [SCP]
      Full Backup        –T [00:00]
      Sleep Interval     –i [300 sec]
      Backup Hostname    –s []

      Backup Password    –p []
      Backup Directory   –d []
