Marc- Just a thought here and I DONT KNOW your agreements w/clients etc . but have you ever thought about off-site backups and perhaps having RBase running this routine twice daily as a service to these people. Give them an ability to opt out or run as they should.
You could encrypt the data, zip and ftp all with RBase Programs. I bet most of these b-us are kept in house. Great unless somebody steals the server etc . A bonus for you is the data is a bit easier to recover and you could run a routine (if they opted) to try to circumvent any issues before they have an issue. Just thinking out loud here. Hope it helps and good luck with Rscope and do read carefully. I recovered a Db that was pretty messed up. Two days and you could also if needed ask RBTI to assist. Sincerely, Paul Dewey ** Note, since I got rid of one employee, I have NO errors anymore. Funny how the Db fixed itself, or was it the Db didn't like this person? Not joking!

Hi Bill Since all data stopped at a certain point in 5-6 tables I think they must have connected to a backup. Of course the staff says they ran the Autochk procedure daily. I told the doctor, if your staff ran that procedure daily and the dates of Monday.zip is 1 month old you have major computer problems, They should have a 5 day history of backups in the daily zip files but only 1 was the correct date and of course it was missing the data. The other 4 files were weeks old. Now, I am looking for the Ghost Busters cause there is something strange in the hood!
