Subject Fix corrupted database
Author myles@techsol.org
I have a problem with a Firebird 1.5 database running on Windows. Recently
I have been getting errors during backup, where GBAK is reporting:

ERROR: database file appears corrupt ()
ERROR: wrong page type
ERROR: page 87361 is of wrong type (expected 7, found 5)
ERROR: gds_$receive failed

And backup ceases at this point. I have run GFIX over it, with the -mend,
-full and -ignore options and it reports the error but never appears to do
anything to fix it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do with this?

Thanks
Myles
