Corrupt database 1

[memed77]

Hi,

I have a very large priv.edb database which contains some corrupt page files. This prevents me from performing online backups.

I have copied the database to a test server, and run eseutil /d and /p against it. I then ran an istineg -priv -fix -test alltest.

I tried using exmerge with the repaired database but it will not run even though I am logged in with Exchange's service account.

The attachements will not open. Any suggestions?

If the backups won't run, then you have all the transaction log files since the last good online backup (because failed online backups don't purge the transaction logs). So restore the last good db backup to the server, and when it starts it will replay all the outstanding transaction logs and bring your db back up to date.

BTW, all this is found in the DR whitepaper, which is referenced in the FAQ for this forum.
