Subject Re: [firebird-support] Backup error = Blob not found
Author Ivan Prenosil
Either upgrade to FB1 or FB1.5,
or do not copy blobs inside SP and triggers.

The blob that causes the error message is already lost,
you just have to remove its blob-id from table.
You can locate it using code like
SELECT Count(*) FROM Tab
WHERE BlobField STARTING 'X' AND PK BETWEEN 1 AND 10000;
When the error occurs, you know the offending row is in the range
of PKs specified, then just narrow it (e.g. 1 and 5000) and try again, etc.
When you find the row, either delete it, or assign Null to blob field.
