2.3.2 not accepting existing contents file

Post by sigbiz »

Loaded 2.3.2.300 . Running job says the backup has never been run before and wants to back up everything. Thought solution was simple - use the contents file on the backup media (the .bdb file) . When tried thos it first shows the loading bar then terminates with a message "cannot load *.bdb".

I do not want to start again if possible. Any solutions?

Hi Andy

Thanks for sending in the jib files for this one, however, you sent the summary files and I would prefer the job files (the other check box on the bug report form).

The summary log file indicates that you were still using build 2.3.1 (298) when session 1 was restarted, but does not indicate why.

Code: Select all

START		AISBackup started: 22 April 2007 21:17:36
INF		Priority Changed to: Below Normal
SSTART	newfull	Backup Session: 1 Started on 22 April 2007 at 21:17:53 Version: 2.3.1 (298)
SESSEND	newfull	AISBackup Session Finished: 22 April 2007 21:22:08
START		AISBackup started: 22 April 2007 21:23:29
INF		Priority Changed to: Below Normal
SSTART	newfull	Backup Session: 1 Started on 22 April 2007 at 21:24:29 Version: 2.3.2 (300)
DEST	newfull	Backup destination: \\Server1\D\Mob3backup\full\newfull.zip
INF	newfull	Backing up: 107,003 Files of 29,026.00 Megabytes
INF	newfull	Ignoring: 8 Files
I hope the backup (zip) files still exist on the network drive so that this situation may be recovered from:

The best method is to use Manage Backup / Remove Backup Job From List, but do not delete the actual backup. Then use the Tools / Open Job From Backup Media option to reinstate the job from the network drive \\Server1\D\Mob3backup\full\ (open the bdb file).

If this does not reinstate the proper backup and all the backup (zip) files still exist then use the Manage Backup / Validate (Test) Backup to recover the backup database, however, if at all possible start with the latest version of the newfull.bdb file you can find (maybe you have a copy on another backup). The zip file format does not know anything about the original disk drive files were located on, so AISBackup will re-instate ‘new’ files as orphans and ask you which drive they should be assigned to (e.g. C: drive).

All files still on server.
Following the order you suggested. Removing the Manage Backup and then using Tools/ open job from backup media still resulted in an error. Having done that the Manage Backup became greyed out.

Have sent the job files . :(
