Hi

I have a customer whos database is corrupt and their automated 2
hourly backups have been failing. So we're in big trouble and any
help would be very much appreciated.

IB 5.6 on NT4 sp6a

Using Server Manager a standard backup fails. A backup with all the
ticks selected goes fine until this lot
