I have tried sweep the database but errors persist. The only cure is backup and restore to get rid of the error. This is a time consuming operation as the database has grow to 3GB++.

Gfix -v can report a number of benign conditions as errors. These
include pages that were allocated but not used, pages that were released
but not put back on the free list, back versions that were detached from
the newer version but not released, etc. Without knowing what error
you're getting, it's very hard to guess what the problem is.

Good luck,
