Hi Geert, size is not currently a problem so we're attempting the backup/restore routine.
however, we're getting the "Bad forest label magic number" error when we are trying to restore a database from a backup from the production server to the test server as the database has not the same name (e.g. kv3-prod-db vs kv3-nightly-db). I found this exchange from last year http://markmail.org/thread/3xtlnvrg5izvbdbm where Jim suggests successfully, it seems to delete the Label file and to restart the server. When we do this ML explains about a missing Label file... maybe this is not the same case where this error message is returned. cheers, Jakob.
