Check out this thread.Lunaroki wrote:I've been thinking about this crash and corruption for a while now and I keep coming back to the same thought: maybe there's something wrong with the MS database that causes backups to become corrupted. I mean, it seems to work okay for the most part while it's in use, but then something barfs and the whole site goes down, and when Tristan goes to restore the backup, oh noes! The backup is corrupted! I know there's a bit of recovery left to go before everyone has their critters back and stuff but I was thinking maybe when the admins have had a chance to catch their breath it might not be a bad idea to make a backup of the site and see if it can be restored on a separate server. If restoring a fresh backup doesn't work then maybe something needs to be done to sort out some issues with the database. *shrug* Just my two cents.
