I am no Domino expert at all! So sorry for any daft ideas or concepts.<BR/><BR/>We backup a number of customer Domino databases using VSS and hit the problem of databases being in cache during the snap-shotting.<BR/><BR/>When restored, these databases are then not able to be read:<BR/><BR/>"Invalid or non existent document"<BR/>"RRV Bucket is corrupt"<BR/>"Page format is incorrect"<BR/><BR/>So I am interested in how effective the dbflush process is - so that we can run it before the VSS snapshoting:<BR/><BR/>1) how long would the flushing typically take to happen?<BR/>2) what exactly then causes a database to be re-cached - is it the receipt of an email simply or does the use have to open their client? In otherwords, how could we ensure databases are not in cache when the snapshot takes place?<BR/><BR/>As you are clearly and expert, I was wondering if you had any ideas as to fixes to the errors (above)we see when databases are backed up in the crash state? <BR/><BR/>Would the tools like fixup and compact that I have read about typically be of any use to make the databases readable?<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for any help here.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265511892888060819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22921684.post-58959130449243861902007-04-04T00:54:00.000+01:002007-04-04T00:54:00.000+01:00Hello Chris,Sorry for unrelated comment, couldn't ...Hello Chris,<BR/><BR/>Sorry for unrelated comment, couldn't find your email address on the blog.<BR/><BR/>I am attending the SNW in San Diego. I am contacting fellow storage bloggers to inquire about their plans for SNW. If you are attending SNW, will you be interested in attending a<BR/>gathering of fellow storage bloggers? Any thoughts on any such<BR/>gathering are most welcome.<BR/><BR/>I recently wrote a blog post on this topic<BR/>http://andirog.blogspot.com/2007/04/say-hello-at-snw.html. I will appreciate any help in spreading the word to fellow bloggers and storage professionals.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>AnilAnil Guptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626638497955200142noreply@blogger.com
