Re: backup error - corrupt index or ... ?

hi roelof,

message from roelof otten created on 2/10/2007 follows ...

 First thing you do is create a new folder and copy all messages for
 your faulty folder to the new one.
 Check whether all messages have really been copied, if so delete all
 messages in the faulty folder and compress it. That ought to to take
 care of things. (You could delete the messages.tbb and .tbi from the
 defunct folder.)
 In case not all messages are copied, close TB and move the
 messages.tbb from that folder to a safe place, you can delete the
 messages.tbi Now start TB again. Try to import the messages from your
 moved messages.tbb file.

i tried the above steps multiple times but TB backup pops up the same error 
message as it processes that inbox each and every time.  lacking any ideas of 
my own, my next step is to let the backup continue and do a test restore to 
determine what, if anything, is wrong with the restored messages.

apart from keeping a safe copy of the messages.tbb file to import from if 
necessary, i don't know what else to try.

thanks/regards, .. mark davidson

backup error - corrupt index or ... ?

2007-02-10 Thread mark davidson
i'm seeing an error during backup ... same inbox every time.  

TB pops up a message indicating it might be a problem with the index with an 
instruction to delete  the index and reload TB to recreate the index.  i did 
this several times without success ... the error repeats on every backup.  

i don't know if it's related but this particular inbox compresses every time i 
close TB ... even when no mail was received.  this does not occur with any of 
my other accounts.

i'm currently running 3.96.04 beta.  does anyone have a thought as to what the 
problem might be and how to fix it?

thanks/regards, .. mark davidson

And in case you're using OTFE the messages.tbb and .tbi files have an
.ebb and .ebi extension.
