ODBC access error. Possible lost connection to database or unsuccessful access to catalog index in the database.

Hello,

with my BE 12.5 I tried to change some settings.
The installed IDR feature was installed and I do not need it.
So I went to Programs and Features and changed the BE settings.
I just deselected the IDR feature and clicked INSTALL.
But after the restart I get this error:
ODBC access error. Possible lost connection to database or unsuccessful access to catalog index in the database.

Can you help me out ?
Do I destroyed my BE installation ?
How can I repair it ?

What is when I have installed 12.5 over my existing 12.5 installation ?

Can I do this or do I destroy my catalog ?

Now go to the installation Directory C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec and rename the Catalogs folder.
Copy the old Catalogs to C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec

Now go to the command prompt and perform the following steps
