| | Posted: | | | | I've noticed over the past several months that I have to run the repair doobrie every time before I can do a back up of my collection. Is this normal? Has everything become more fragile in recent months or is it due to collections size (c. 3000+)??? New computer, latest release and all that.
Not a problem, it works, just takes time is all.
Anyone else noticed? | | | | Gonna jump...gonna jump... |

| | Posted: | | | | On the backup screen (File -> Backup database...") uncheck the box next to "Check database files before backup" | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks, can do, but there again, if "checking" finds faults that need repair every time... why? Not "checking" for faults (by un-ticking the box as you suggest) doesn't make the "faults" disappear does it?
Or are there no faults in reality?

| | Posted: | | | | I do recall seeing a post which indicated that the fault checking is 'over zealous' and will sometimes indicate there is a fualt when there isn't one.
Then again it's possible there are regularly small faults in the data of unlooked at profiles that go by unnoticed (or have no noticible effect) and just get 'sorted out' when there's a big fault that you *do* notice and run a Database Repair abd the checker finds these.
I doubt it means there are more faults than there used to be, at worst it's that the program now can check for them so it is being brought to our attention. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | I wonder if there is actually a separate fault check? I kind of suspect that doing a repair is in fact the fault checking. Does the repair actually say that anything was fixed? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | Interesting, however, my main point was that you can't (seemingly any more) run the back up without running the repair first. Therefore it's not elective! Takes forever with a large collection. | | | | Gonna jump...gonna jump... |

| | Posted: | | | | I am still able to run a backup without repairing my database first, so I wonder what is causing this behaviour on your system. |

| | Posted: | | | | No idea, I've typically added 6 - 12 new additions between back ups. Maybe 50/50 adapted previous (usually US) postings/start from scratch (for those UK/European movies we get before US). Plus weekly updates from Invelos of course. Anything unusual in that? | | | | Gonna jump...gonna jump... |

Sorry if this is a stupid question but you have unticked the "Check Database Files Before Backup" option on the first 'Backup' window as per Blair's post? This perfectly happily runs the backup without repair for me... as we've been discussing it may be the checking finds faults which either aren't faults or are technically faults but they wouldn't affect anything even if un-repaired. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

--------------- You can run backup everyday without the repair notice coming up IF you unchecked the box first .. this forum post is commenting on the fact that if that box is ticked it will most always come back that it failed to backup due to the database being "problematic" and needs to be repaired/ fixed.. Yesterday I forgot to uncheck,, then I did the database fix . then two hours later after some changes and adds it had to be fixed again ... therefore this 'new' add on is problematic for quite a few of us or not .. ? that is what tcremote was posting about . | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.
